YOU HAVE LEARNED TO READ 

The twenty-six letters in the alphabet 
many years ago, but have you learned the 
forty-three letters or characters in the 
alphabet of Human Nature? 

The letters in our Language arrang- 
ed into words either spoken or written, 
express one's thoughts to others. 

Fortunately for us ordinary mortals, 
Science has discovered that every charac- 
teristic in the brain of the human (also 
the animal) is distinctly represented upon 
the outside of the cranium, the face and 
the entire form, which constitute the al- 
phabet of character, and disposition. 

As an illustration, we will take two 
six and eight year old girls of different 
families. We first use the alphabet of 
language to distinguish them apart when 
speaking of them — Henrietta and Theresa 
— the former having nine letters or char- 
acters to spell her name and the latter 
only seven. 

We have learned the shape and size of 
these characters so thoroughly that we 
know the entire combination and ar- 
rangement of them at a glance, producing 
the distinctive names. 



And so it is in the alphabet of Heads 
and Faces with the forty-three characters 
or faculties ; we learn their shape and size 
and location as easily as the alphabet of 
language. 

Henrietta has very large faculties of 
Tune and Time — a bulging out of the 
temples just above the eye which any one 
can easily see at a glance and it tells you 
that she is all music — wants to get upon 
the high stool and play all over the keys 
at the piano ; is humming tunes constant- 
ly and dancing around the house ; in later 
years if allowed to devote her time to 
music, will compose her own music. 

Theresa has very large faculties of 
Causality and Ideality and you see a 
bulging of the forehead in the upper part, 
and of the head a little farther outward 
and higher up near the hair-line ; these 
tell you that she likes to read books and 
stories, especially poetry, and likes to get 
up plots of her own (and no doubt will 
later in life) and she likes to think and 
study out all the reasons of things. 

You can now see how easily it is to 
learn the alphabet of human faces and 
heads and also must see that it is equally 
so necessary to know one alphabet as the 
other, in order to be prepared for person- 
al improvement, correct education of 
children and the preservation of our own 
interests in the association with all kinds 
of other human beings. 



Learn how to 

"See for Yourself' ' 

what is underneath the cranium of every- 
one of your friends and associates. 

Nothing is easier or more simple. 

We can show you the "know how" 
to get at the real inmost self of every per- 
son on sight, by the so-called " bumps/ ' 
" flats' ' and "hollows" on the head, and 
by the form and expression of the face, 
so plainly in sight upon every human be- 
ing that exists. 

We so simplify our classifications, 
confining them to the ordinary every-day 
incidents, that anyone, without previous 
knowledge of the science, can easily 
grasp every phase about it. 

EVERYBODY CAN KNOW HOW TO: 

Choose the most profitable vocation 
for themselves; 

Determine the character and ability 
of would-be employees on sight; 

Improve the undesirable faculties in 
children ; 

Choose a reliable partner in a busi- 
ness venture; 

Increase one's ability to gain more 
salary ; 

Select a companion in matrimony 
who is in vibratory harmony with one's 
own peculiarities. 

Every distinctive faculty of self is 
plainly indicated upon the outside of the 
head, face or form. The symbol may be 



in the face, in the walk, in the clothes, in 
the voice or in the hand-shake, or all to- 
gether. 

It is there, scattered all over the en- 
tire figure, plainly in sight, if you know 
just where and how to look for it. 

This is what we tell you in plain, un- 
derstandable language. 

If all the people in this world 
could "see" what is plain to see, 

What a very different world 

all this wondrous world would b<}. 

VIBRATORY CORRESPONDENCE 
WITH INDIVIDUALS. 

No one should ever make an import- 
ant move, where it has anything to do 
with others, without first determining 
if the other person is on the same plane 
of vibration as he himself is; otherwise, 
such a combination would invariably end 
disastrously, and this part of our exis- 
tence is too uncertain in length to waste 
any valuable time on such experiments, 
when they can be so easily avoided by 
our way of " seeing for yourself.' ' 
Unhappiness Without Same Vibration. 
To explain vibration more explicitly : 
Everything in nature vibrates, or, in 
other words, has motion. Some kinds of 
wood can be seen to vibrate, with the 
aid of a very strong microscope, but it 
vibrates so slowly that it seems to the 
naked eye as a solid. Water vibrates 
much more rapidly than wood, so much 
more that it becomes a liquid to our phys- 

8 



ical vision, and transparent because its 
vibratory motion is too rapid for us to 
catch it. Air is still more transparent 
than water, in fact the vibration is so 
rapid that it becomes invisible to our 
physical eye, therefore it must be under- 
standable that any two substances that 
are not vibrating exactly alike will not 
mingle. 

Air with its invisible rapidity of vi- 
bration, Mall not mix with water because 
of its much slower vibration, as for exam- 
ple: to blow air into water through a 
tube, the air will rise to the surface in- 
stantly, illustrating that there is no vi- 
bratory correspondence between air and 
water, because on a different plane of vi- 
bration. To return to our comparison of 
two individuals, if one has a very coarse 
organism, low ideals, low mentality, it is 
an impossibility for that one to be on the 
same high plane of vibration as the other 
one with fine organism, high ideals and 
high mentality, therefore, there would be 
no communion of interests, no vibratory 
correspondence, and never any happiness 
between them if they were unlucky en- 
ough to "go it blind" in matrimony or 
in a business venture. 

With very little study you begin to 
notice every face you see and, before you 
are aware of the fact, you will know 
more of the characteristics of a person 
on sight than they do themselves in all 
the many years of their life. 



It is so very interesting after you get 
a little insight of it that the more you 
read faces the more you want to, and 
there is never any end to the different 
surprises you will experience as you ad- 
vance in the knowledge of Cranioseopy. 
(Pronounced cra-ni-os-co-py.) 

You will not wonder then why there 
are so many mistakes in one's own opin- 
ion of casual acquaintances; misunder- 
standings in intimate companionship; 
misfits in business partnerships, and de- 
plorable disillusionments in wedded life. 
And to think that every one of these 
troubles could have been avoided with a 
very little of this special knowledge 
that has been so woefully neglected by 
everybody ever since the science was dis- 
covered an hundred years ago ! 

If whoever reads this book sees no 
truth in what we claim, we can only pity 
such understanding. 

We know nothing whatever about 
"fortune telling". Unfortunately, this 
science has been often considered in that 
mystic class, on account of the mind 
faculties, being invisible of themselves, 
but few have realized that every faculty 
of the mind is indicated on the outside of 
the head and face, where everybody can 
see for themselves, if they learn by ob- 
servation and reasonable study as they 
have already learned other things within 
their years of understanding. 

10 



To open up the facts by demonstra- 
tion and illustration in a convincing way 
is the intention of this book, in pocket 
size, handy for ready reference at any 
time or place. 

DIVORCE COURTS. 

The records of the Divorce Courts of 
our land and the courts of Domestic Rela- 
tions ought to be sufficient proof to every- 
body that there is something radically 
wrong with our institution of marriage, 
and as none of the lawmakers, as yet, has 
ever accomplished any perceptible im- 
provement, we assert that our way is the 
only indisputable and sane solution of 
the problem, and we also claim that 
nothing could be more detrimental to 
society than the union in marriage of two 
people having mind faculties that are 
positively out of harmony with each oth- 
er and to bring new lives into the world 
under these lamentable conditions. 

We hold that it is a sin, if there ev- 
er was a sin, for people to make their 
matrimonial selection in a haphazard, 
snapshot, by-guess fashion, as has al- 
ways been done ever since human beings 
existed. 

What we do is to prove to you that 
you can "see for yourself" just as posi- 
tively and accurately as we do ourselves, 
if any certain person would or would not 
make a partner in business or in matri- 
mony that would be suitable to one's 

11 



own peculiar characteristics. Such 

knowledge may save you thousands of 
dollars in business, and thousands of 
heartaches in matrimony. 

PEOPLE IN LOVE. 

People "in love" usually just go 
blindly along, dreaming of nothing but 
the other " sweet' ' self, and utterly ob- 
livious to all the character "bumps," 
"flats" and "hollows" that are plainly 
in sight upon each other's head, seemingly 
waiting in silent appeal, for an intelli- 
gent comparison of individual mind fac- 
ulties, before any serious affairs are 
thought of. 

This, the most important of all ven- 
tures in life, and which should require 
the most painstaking investigation, is us- 
ually relegated to the lottery plan of se- 
lection, and consequently often ends up 
in the "waste basket" of human exper- 
ience. 

Wake up ! ! ! ! All you engaged and 
want-to-be-engaged couples ! ! ! 

RIGHTS OF PEOPLE TO 
COMPARE CHARACTERISTICS. 

Each one of you has a perfect right 
to "see for yourself" if the other one's 
natural characteristics are in perfect har- 
mony, and on the same plane of vibra- 
tion, as your own. 

12 



If such a comparison proves to be 
"out of sorts' ' then and there is the time 
and place to end the intimacy. 

As one example, if the woman's head 
was dominated by the elemental facul- 
ties — Nos. 5, 16, 30, 19, 21, 7, 8, 10, 13, 
24, (high above the ears) and the man's 
head — low above the ears with Nos. 25, 
33, 40, 41, 17, highly developed, there 
never could be one moment of true hap- 
piness after the honeymoon, although 
before marriage and during courtship, 
a more attentive and considerate lover 
could hardly be thought of. 

HOW TO SEE ONE'S 
OWN "BUMPS." 

To "see" underneath your own 
cranium to determine your own good and 
bad qualities, get between two or three 
mirrors that are so arranged as to give 
you a direct view of every part of your 
head and face — front view, back view, 
side view, and if your hair obstructs the 
formation of the different faculties, 
dampen it until it will lie flat and smooth 
on the head. 

Each faculty of the mind expresses 
itself by one of three distinct surfaces 
upon the head — Convex, Flat or Con- 
cave ; Convex represents large or positive 
degree; Flat stands for medium degree; 
Concave, for small degree, but we are us- 
ing the more familiar terms "bumps"*, 
"flats", "hollows", for the easier under- 
standing of their meaning. 

13 



The different degrees in which each 
faculty has developed, determines jthe 
value of each, and of all the 43 distinct 
faculties, in duplicate on each side of the 
head, each one can be accurately located, 
either by the eye or by applying the tips 
of the fingers to the head. 

SELF-ANALYSIS. 

When we fully realize that our mind 
faculties are not the result of definite and 
refined thought on the part of our par- 
ents previous to the compounding and as- 
similating of soul and chemical matter, 
but is the result, in 999 cases out of 1,000, 
of " blind' ' animal passion, we will not 
wonder at the haphazard combinations 
and abnormal peculiarities and inclina- 
tions of our intelligent self, but that does 
not establish the excuse that we should 
allow our faculties to remain as they 
were born into us ; rather, that we should 
do all within our defective understanding 
to improve upon them by study and from 
the contact and associations of other in- 
dividuals who were lucky enough to come 
out of the mold on a higher plane of mor- 
ality or intelligence. 

Should we not attempt to rebuild our 
defective faculties for the good of our 
children yet to be born, and for the good 
of the entire human race in its struggle 
for progression. 

There is room for much deep thought 
upon this subject, and let us hope that 

14 



our final conclusions will be a revelation 
to us and that the ultimate result will 
be of inestimable value to the moulding 
of the future generations of the world. 

There is nothing so essential in fore- 
sight as to have a correct knowledge of 
one's own good and bad qualities of the 
mind. We must first analyze ourselves 
correctly before we can compare our own 
characteristics harmoniously with the 
traits of others with whom we have a de- 
sire to associate, and also before we can 
have the critical knowledge necessary to 
analyze any head upon sight. 

We must therefore put our own head 
"upon the block' ' and observe it with the 
severest scrutiny — just severe enough to 
withstand a favorable comparison with 
the great ideals that we invariably look 
for in others. To do this with any degree 
of accuracy and understanding, it is nec- 
essary to assemble the different faculties 
of the mind in their resective groups up- 
on one side of a sheet of paper, and on 
the opposite side record the remarks and 
analysis of your conclusions, in accord- 
ance with your innate feelings and in- 
clinations, as we illustrate by two or 
three examples, herewith : 

No. 1. — If you have constant desire 
to be of some use to others, and to be of 
some good to humanity in general, or to 
relieve distress ; or have sympathy for 
the unfortunate poor, or humane regrets 
for all the wickedness and vice that 

15 



thrives in the midst of our modern social 
life, then you have very large mind fac- 
ulties of Conscientiousness, Benevolence, 
Spirituality, Gratitude, Friendship, Pa- 
rental Love, Hope, Conjugality, Combat- 
iveness, but rather small faculties of Ac- 
quisitiveness, Secretiveness, Destructive- 
ness, Alimentiveness, Amativeness, Self- 
conceit and Human Nature. (See Fig. 2.) 

This combination of faculties makes 
you too tender-hearted for an accumula- 
tion of the necessary things in life for 
personal comforts, and makes you a vic- 
tim of vultures playing on your sympathy 
and posing as friends. Therefore* for 
self-protection for 1 yourself and fam- 
ily wouldn't it be better to rebuild — in- 
crease the deficient faculties and decrease 
the abnormal faculties of the mind, mak- 
ing you better prepared to combat the en- 
croachments of the unsympathetic world 
upon good nature? 

No. 2. — If you have no desire to help 
others in their troubles; no compassion 
for their sorrows; no feeling within you 
to give your bit for the relief of distress, 
or for unavoidable and unfortunate con- 
ditions of life; no repentance for the many 
heartaches you have brought upon loving 
parents or other relatives and friends ; no 
regard for truth, virtue and honesty; no 
feeling of graciousness for unsolicited fa- 
vors or financial assistance in sickness or 
poverty; no regrets for the vices in so- 
cial life that surround us and almost en- 
gulf at times the great efforts of worthy 

16 



men and women to lift humanity above 
such environment; no thought of any- 
thing but a gratification of your own 
physical needs and pleasures in life ,then 
you are a product isolated far below the 
average of human beings, with no piety 
in your heart, and your prayers, if you 
have any, are selfish ones for fear of pun- 
ishment for the many unforgivable deeds 
that have permeated your entire earthly 
life. 

You are simply an expression of the 
"hit or miss" compounding of chemical 
elements uniting with soul during the ac- 
tivities of the Amative faculty in its grat- 
ification of carnal desire (regardless of 
consequences), which put you in a mould 
of exceedingly low vibration, and ac- 
cording to one of the great inexorable, 
immutable laws of Nature — that any body 
or soul having a low scale of vibratory 
motion is also on a scale of low organiza- 
tion and intelligence. 

Your dominant faculties of the mind 
are Destructiveness, Alimentiveness, Se- 
cretiveness, Amativeness, Approbative- 
ness, very small faculties of Consci- 
entiousness (desire to do right), Self Es- 
teem, Benevolence, Spirituality, Venera- 
tion, Hope, Gratitude, Friendship, Paren- 
tal Love and Conjugality. (See Fig. 21 
for shape of the head.) Therefore would 
you not make a better citizen and be bet- 
ter prepared to accomplish the evident 
object of Supreme Intelligence to prog- 
ress in the generating process of the hu- 

17 



man souls whom you might bring into the 
world, if you would rebuild — increase the 
action of your deficient faculties and de- 
crease that of the dominant ones? 

No. 3. — If you have an innate desire 
to' investigate and understand the funda- 
mental laws of Nature, delving into the 
intricate billions of miles of unknown 
space out of which sparkle and scintillate 
the needle points of light from distant 
suns and worlds ; speculate upon the pow- 
er, force and intelligence that holds these 
vast bodies of matter at certain distances 
from one another; reason out the object 
why our own little speck of earth should 
be populated and afterwards depopulated 
by wholesale slaughter; try to reason out 
why human beings have not educated 
themselves up to the same standard of 
improvement in creating children that 
they have in creating dogs and hogs; to 
conclude from all deductions that if hu- 
man beings had for ages past been im- 
proving the creations of their own prog- 
eny with as much foresight as they have 
the beasts of the field, that there would 
never have been, in this day and age, any 
such calamity as is raging in every re- 
mote part of the globe; or to try to 
bridge the gap into the realms of invisi- 
ble human life and discover if the phe- 
nomena of impressions that seem to come 
from nowhere are not in reality the re- 
sult of intelligent and individual influ- 
ence from friends gone before us and still 
hovering around within the boundaries of 

18 



the atmosphere that surrounds their for- 
mer physical home ; or, to try to fathom 
the phenomena of all life principle, as it 
is seen in every living thing 1 of the visible, 
and known of in the invisible, part of Na- 
ture, suggests a combination of faculties 
that is far above the average, therefore 
we have very large Casualty, Comparison, 
Individuality Locality, Spirituality, Sub- 
limity, Form, Size, "Weight, Order, Color, 
Number, Constructiveness. (See Fig. 15.) 

The other faculties of the mind are 
subordinate to a certain degree, because 
of the fact that they are seldom called up- 
on for action, as the above individual has 
no time for the ordinary things of every- 
day existence, and only dreams of the 
great discoveries of Nature's laws that 
he is about to make any day. If he makes 
new discoveries it is to the advantage of 
the entire human race, and we cannot 
suggest any improvement upon the mind 
faculties that already seem to dominate 
him. 

No. 4. — In this illustration we are 
talking to the young men specially, for 
the reason that young ladies rarely ever 
expect to do anything after they are mar- 
ried but to "keep house," and as most of 
them join that heavenly realm of exclu- 
siveness before they reach the age of 25, 
they are practically out of the "ready 
cash" producer class. 

However, the exceptional ones, who 
love their provider too much for his own 
good and for their own future content- 

19 



ment, also the type of girl who wants to 
be independent of any of the masculine 
side of nature, can apply our remarks to 
themselves and perhaps profit by it. 

If your parents are unfamiliar with 
this science of knowing what faculties 
they have helped Nature to create with- 
in you (most of them are), you will be 
obliged to depend upon conditions and be 
your own judge, after thoroughly mas- 
tering our "Modern Foresight". 

If your combination of faculties is 
evenly developed, it will be much more 
difficult to decide what vocation you 
would best succeed in, and in that case 
an examination of your head by photo- 
graphs might be sufficient. 

If your mind faculties are not alike 
in development then you will have strong 
inclinations or tendencies to follow some 
one vocation and that is the very employ- 
ment that you should devote all of your 
energies to, for you have no time at that 
age to waste groping around experiment- 
ing from one tiling to another to finally 
come back to the starting point — the 
mind faculty that is doing its utmost to 
start you right. 

Your dominant faculty, or perhaps 
group of faculties along the same line, 
is constantly on the alert and compels 
you to confine your deepest thinking, 
most serious thinking, within the limits 
that such employment would extend; 
if your strongest desire is to see wheels 
go round, machinery running, boring, 

20 



planing, gouging out iron chips, forming 
new things, your dominant faculty is 
Constructiveness, assisted by Form, and 
you should, by all means, be a machinist; 
if you would rather do delicate, intricate, 
special kind of mechanical labor, you 
should be a watchmaker; if you have an 
itching desire to draw offhand, or picture 
out on paper a funny idea or some event, 
or some famous character in politics, or 
illustrating stories, your dominant facul- 
ties are in the artistic class — Form, Size, 
Ideality, Mirthfulness, Constructiveness, 
and anything outside of that vocation 
would be a bore to you; if you would pre- 
fer to watch all the pretty street cos- 
tumes and styles, colors and fluffiness, 
noticing exactly how each one is cut and 
fitted, then you are a natural-born de- 
signer with the faculties of Constructive- 
ness, Form, Color, Size, Ideality predom- 
inant, and should be either a salesman, 
saleswoman, or designer of wearing ap- 
parel. 

If your inclinations are along mer- 
cantile pursuits, the particular kind you 
would better take up would depend first 
upon business ability — faculties of Cau- 
sality, Comparison, Secretiveness, Acquis- 
itiveness, Cautiousness, Destructiveness, 
and Order, then assisted by Constructive- 
ness for Hardware; Alimentiveness for 
Groceryman or Wholesale Liquors ; Color, 
Ideality, Form, Suavity, Friendship, Am- 
ativeness for Millinery, Clothing and Dry 
Goods. 

21 



If you have a craving desire to imi- 
tate others , or are a good story teller, or 
are very fond of dancing, singing and 
leading an active, exciting, changeable 
life, then your dominant faculties are Im- 
itation, Time, Tune, Language, Friend- 
ship, Amativeness, Destructiveness and 
Alimentiveness, and your vocation must 
be on the stage in order to enjoy life at 
all and become an adept at your work. 

If you have a strong desire to argue 
and contend for your own opinion col- 
loquially, then your dominant faculties 
are Combativeness, Destructiveness, Se- 
cretiveness, Firmness, Concentration, 
Language, Causality, Comparison, and 
Human Nature, and not many opponents 
could get the best of you in a case at law, 
therefore to be a lawyer would be your 
greatest opportunity to become famous. 

If you have an uncontrollable desire 
to be listless, sluggish, lifeless, indolent, 
inactive, you are either sick or woefully 
lazy, and if not sick your dominant fac- 
ulty is Alimentiveness, with very small, 
deficient faculties of Combativeness, 
Self-esteem, Force (Destructiveness), Ac- 
quisitiveness, Hope, Vivativeness and the 
vocation most suitable for you would be 
of a sedentary nature, like bottoming 
chairs in the daytime and devouring 
cheap love stories in the wee small hours 
of the night time. You would be very 
successful at both. 

If you are already employed in some 
mercantile institution of large dimen- 

22 



sions and many departments, and you 
are all the time on the lookout for some 
improvement in the system, and are not 
concentrating your mind on one particu- 
lar class of work, but keep your eyes and 
ears open to everything that is going on 
about you, as well as to do your own 
work well, you have the faculties of In- 
dividuality, Comparison, Constructive- 
ness, Destructiveness, Firmness, Self-es- 
teem, Approbativeness, Secretiveness, 
Acquisitiveness, Cautiousness and Ama- 
tiveness very large, and are of just the 
right type of man to forge ahead and get 
to the very top of the ladder of success. 

We might continue along this line of 
Self- Analysis indefinitely, for there is no 

SL ? 

L 




end to the different combinations of mind 
faculties, and each separate combination 
will give an entirely different disposi- 
tion, temperament and inclination in 
each individual. But we do specialize 
that to follow one's own strongest in- 
clination in the vocational problem is the 
surest road to success. 




OTHERS ARE NOT FLIRTING 
WITH YOU. 

What applies to your own head and 
face applies to others, and when you dis- 
cover some "impudent person" staring 
at you, they are very likely analyzing 
you the same as you are them instead of 

24 




trying to flirt with you, as you may 
think. 

Since you care for only just enough 
knowledge of this nature to satisfy your 
own personal needs, we are not going 
into all the intricate details of the science 
of head and face reading, as that is only 
for those who wish to adopt it as a pro- 
fession, or for personal entertainment. 

In our illustrations of each faculty 
of the mind which represents your real 
self, we give you three views of the head 
and face — Figs. A. B. C. all of which have 
to be taken into consideration, in order 
to correctly locate and compare one with 
another.

ENTERTAINMENT BY 
CRANIOSOOPY. 

By far the quickest way to learn the 
art of reading faces, is to practice upon 
one's own family or upon friends. 

Friends and their friends are always 
glad to have their heads and faces ex- 
amined by one who can tell them some- 
thing about themselves, and their friends 
that none of them know, and one can al- 
ways tell if he is hitting the nail on the 
head, by the different expressions on the 
faces of the listeners. It is no end of 
amusement for both the examiner and 
the examined as long as the heads hold 
out. 

UNBALANCED HEAD NECESSARY 
TO BE A GENIUS. 

If your head, upon examination, 
proves to be of the same balance as the 
Figs. A. B. C. you will never become ex- 
ceptionally famous, or be a genius, since 
one has to be decidedly unbalanced to be 
able to do uncommon things. To be able 
to do one thing great, is about all that 
can be expected of one person in so few 
years of experience. 

CHANGING HEAD FACULTIES 
TO DEMONSTRATE RESULTS. 

Suppose we take the Figs. A. B. C. 
and change the degree of some of the 
faculties, and note the result: — If Nos. 4, 

26 



5, 16, 30, 31 were highly developed, the 
forehead at that point would be very 
prominent, each faculty plainly distinct 
from the other faculties adjacent. Such 
a person would be a great thinker and 
writer upon subjects that would be valu- 
able to any one who had enough mental- 
ity to comprehend them, but such a writ- 
er might be very deficient at the Nos. 
25, 24, 13, 23, because he wouldn't have 
time nor the inclination to bother with 
thoughts that those numbers represent, 
and therefore this part of the head would 
be almost straight up and down in the 
back — not having enough affection nor 
friendship to attract anyone to him. On 
the other hand, if these last numbers 
were well developed and No. 29 added, 
he could write stories that would bring 
tears of joy and sympathy in profusion 
to all who would read, and his leisure 
hours would be passed in many a romp 
with children and friends. In that event 
the back part of the head would be full 
and round. So you can see for yourself 
what an advantage it might be in many 
ways to know considerable about heads 
and faces. 

If Nos. 9, 41, 34, 25, in Fig. A. were 
very large, and 23, 24, and 13 small, 
which is quite often the case in men, the 
head at 9 would be much higher than 
in the illustration and the faculty at 13 

27 



would be flat or even hollow, instead of 
round as in the illustration; now looking 
at the Fig. C you would find faculties 41, 
34, 25, as large round "bumps" about 
like half of a butternut, and the head 
would be much wider between the ears. 
Such a man would be so domineering, 
stubborn and cruel that any woman who 
happens to fall in love with him, would 
soon wish, after marriage, that she had 
never been born; but if the woman had 
known enough before marriage, about 
reading of character to serve her own 
particular purpose, she could have saved 
herself all that heart-breaking experi- 
ence. 

TO INCREASE THE SALARY. 

To increase one's salary, there could 
be no quicker way than to familiarize 
one's self with the knowledge of how to 
select efficient help for the different de- 
partments in any large institution where 
many people are employed. How to dis- 
criminate between honest and dishonest 
employes at sight: Some have much 
more ability than they think they have, 
while others have less ability than they 
know they have, but our system puts you 
into the position of know r ing all about the 
real " stuff" that any person is made of. 
In the vocational line, a person having 

28 



large faculties of 3, 6, 1, 17, 9, 10, 23, 26, 
29, 38, would make an excellent sales- 
man. 

A person having 5, 16, 38, 14, 26, 2, 
36, 11, highly developed would do won- 
ders in mechanics and invention. 

A person having a head that is low 
over the ears, a wide head between the 
ears, and a retreating forehead, small 
faculties of 10, 22 would never get above 
sweeping the streets or other menial 
work. 

A person with large faculties of 41, 
40, 33, 39, 25, and very small faculties of 
7, 19, 21, 8, 32 would make the most 
dangerous kind of criminal. 

An employe who is able to detect 
the true character of anyone they see, 
on the spot, is of greater value to an em- 
ployer, than one who has no such know- 
ledge. 

Knowledge of faces on sight gives 
one unlimited confidence in his own abil- 
ity to "do things " and he has far better 
chances of succeding in any undertak- 
ing that is associated with all kinds of 
people. 

PREPAREDNESS 

is a good slogan and a good principle to 
stick to all through one's earthly exis- 
tence.

PROOF OF MIND FACULTIES 
IN HEAD. 

Though it will be immaterial to most 
of our readers to know just why, and 
from what proof we 
make our assertions 
concerning Heads 
and Faces, for the 
bettor satisfaction 



H-oncSi 



of the few, we will 
give a short descrip- 
tion of the scientific 
principle of it. 
Referring t o Figs. 
9 and 10 — one nose 
to you looks honest, 
and the other dis- 
honest. Now the 

question is, where 
D,j/ionejt doeg the idea ^ that 

E 7 V makes these two 
noses grow so dif- 
ferently, originate V 
Is it inside each sep- 
arate nose, or is it 
somewhere else? 
Cranioscopy says it is in the mind, 
and as we are unable to find a better 
place for it, we willingly agree with Dr. 
Gall, the discoverer of this truth over 100 
years ago. 

Everybody knows that no two per- 
sons, even in one family, show the same 
amount or kind of mentality. One may 
be a genius in music, and another unable 



Nojc,

to distinguish one note distinctly from 
another, and yet could be a wonder in 
mechanics and invention. 

This goes to prove that there must 
be different organs in the mind to cor- 
respond with each different manifestation 
of talent and emotion, therefore since we 
all recognize that we have many other 
kinds of talent and emotions than the 
ones mentioned above there must be or- 
gans in the mind to correspond with each 
and every faculty that a person possesses. 

These organs have been nicknamed, 
" bumps" by the uninitiated as that best 
expresses their unsophisticated ideas of 
Head-reading, but as you will notice in 
all of our illustrations, there is rarely an 
instance where you can recognize a 
''bump." 

Head and Face reading is not done 
by ' ' bumps ' ', but is accomplished by not- 
ing the shape and sLze of the head and 
expression of the face. As proof of this 
statement, we will let the reader decide, 
by telling us how his or her own opinion 
is formed in reading the heads and faces 
of the illustrations in this book. 

To continue with the explanation, the 
brain is divided into forty-three areas, 
representing mind faculties, located on 
each side of the head with the dividing 
line at the top, front and back, in the 
center, (see Fig. 25). The organs have 
fibres extending from each one, and con- 
verging to the top of the spinal column. 

31 




A— Medulla Oh>lon&>+**-* top of 
Spina/ Cp/i/mn, 

The brain is developed through these 
fibres, the volume of the brain being de- 
pendent upon the length of them, conse- 
quently an organ is large in proportion 
to the distance from the brain center to 
the surface where it is located. 

The organs on this dividing line 
blend together from either side of it, pro- 
ducing single organs, instead of being in 
duplicate as the others are, farther away 
from the line. 

These blended organs are Nos. 2, 3, 
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. 

The correct proportion of the shape 
of the head, is found by extending lines 
from the ear opening to the surface of 

32 




the head of the dividing line (see Fig. 
23). 

In this illustration the dotted line is 
the head of a man who murdered his own 
brother, the black line, a famous English 
poet, and the difference between the two 
is very noticeable, the development of the 
poet being upward and forward, while 
that of the murderer is upward and 
backward and the head was also very 
wide from ear to ear in the latter. 

The former measurement, upward 
and forward gives large mentality and 
morality, while in the latter the criminal 
and licentious propensities, or inclina- 
tions, are the result. 

33 



LOCATION OF ORGAN GROUPS. 

These organs are associated in 'I 
groups. Those representing harmonious I 
relations are grouped together, as fol-jl 
lows: 

Domestic Propensities 

(Inclinations.) 
These organs are located in the backj 
part of the head and when large the back- 
head is elongated and broad. They are 
Nos. 25, 24, 13, 23, 12. ( See Figs. A, B, C.) 

Selfish Propensities. 

These are located on the sidehead 
and when large give width to the head in 
that region. They relate to welfare and 
protection to the individual. They are 
Nos. 42, 34, 41, 40, 39, 33. 

Selfish Sentiments. 
Located in the region of the crown, 
and when large cause the head to be very 
high and distant from the opening of the 
ear to that part of the head. They give 
dignity, ambition, prudence and ability. 
They are Nos. 32, 22, 10, 11. 

Moral Sentiments. 
Grouped in the top-head giving 
breadth, fullness and elevation to that 
region. They are Nos, 21, 20, 19, 7, 8. 

Semi-Intellectual Sentiments. 

These are located in the region of J 

the temples, in the upper and forward i 

side-head. They supply the artistic, 

mechanical, conforming, and refining ele- 

34 



ments of character. Nos. 38, 30, 31, 18, 
29, 6, 17. 

Intellectual Faculties. 

These are of two classes, the Percep- 
tive and Reflective faculties. The Per- 
ceptives are located above the eyes and 
constitute about one-third of the height 
of the forehead, beginning at the arch of 
the eye ; the numbers are : 3, 2, 14, 26, 27, 
35, 36, 15. This group of faculties when 
strong, give practical judgment, business 
talent and common sense. When we 
analyze the action of each faculty, we 
will recognize the value of them taken 
separately, as well as in their combined 
activity. They enable us to grasp the 
gist of anything quickly, and at once see 
the practical side of things. 

Semi-Perceptive or Literary Faculties. 

Situated in a line running across the 
center of the forehead are Nos. 4, 28, 37, 
1. Number 1 faculty manifests itself 
only by pressing upon the plate over the 
orbit of the eye, and pushing the eye out- 
ward and downward, making it protrude 
and stand out full. 

The Reflective Faculties 

(Reasoning.) 
Are located in the upper part of the 
forehead. They are Nos. 5, 16. Number 
11 gives patient and continued effort and 
unity of thought in reasoning out a thing. 
It is the stick-to-it-ive faculty that aids 
all other faculties in getting results. 

35 



DEFINITION AND LOCATION OP 
HEAD FACULTIES. 

For the sake of easily memorizing the 
localities of the different Faculties upon 
our illustrations A. B. C. we have num- 
bered them in rotation, as nearly as pos- 
sible, beginning with the lowest Faculty 
in front — Language, as No. 1 and so on. 

For further assistance in locating 
each Faculty, start at the front of the 
ear, and you will note that there are five 
Faculties, nearly on a line to the top of 
the head— 39, 40, 31, 20, 8 and just above 
the ear, are 41, 33, 32, 21, 9. Commenc- 
ing again in front of the ear, and going 
backwards in a line, are 39, 41, 34, 24, 13. 
On the extreme top of the head, are 7, 8, 
9, 10 and just each side of the top, in a 
near straight line, are 6, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 
11, and down near the middle of the 
head, are 5, 16, 29, 30, 31, 32, A 23, 12. 
Most of the faculties are about one inch 
apart on the real head; some are 1 1-2 
inches, and some on the forehead only 
1-2 inch or H inch apart. Heads vary 
considerably in size, anywhere from 20 
to 24 inches around, from front to back. 
But the largest size does not always 
house the greatest brain power. 

A very high head above the ears, 
comparatively, or one long from front to 
back, both indicate large mentality, 
while a low head above the ears, and 
wide between them, indicates deficient 
mentality, and excessive brutality. 

36

Recent Discoveries By Drs. Franz 

And Lashlie 

Of The United States. 

In an article by Dr. Hirshberg, of 
June 25th 1917, he tells us that "the 
brilliant experiments and observations 
add new light to the proof that the cere- 
brum or brain has little if anything, to 
do with the mind" also that, "many vic- 
tims of accidents and diseases which des- 
troy or decompose one area after another 
of the brain, interfere no more with the 
spirit or mental activity of the victim 
than does a boil on the neck." 

Professor Franz, in his new discover- 
ies, substantiates with undeniable proof, 
the claim of Spiritualism — that the ego, 
self or soul, or mind has a spiritual body 
within the physical body, an exact replica 
of the body that we see with the physical 
eye, therefore, the above experiments 
add "new light' ' very forcibly to the 
spiritual side of life and the laws that 
govern it. 

45 



We shall look forward anxiously for 
the doctor to delve deeper into the sci- 
ence of the mind, hoping that he can find 
reasonable proof of possible communica- 
tion between minds encased in the dual 
bodies and those encased in the spirit 
body only, or in other words, between 
physical and spirit man. 

WOMAN'S INFLUENCE. 

Human beings of this earth consist 
of two disinetive classes — Feminine and 
Masculine. The Feminine is all love, 
spirituality, devotion, silent submissive- 
ness and uncomplaining sacrifices:- The 
Masculine is all aggressiveness, egotism, 
individual satisfaction, persistent animal- 
ism and self-opinionated perfection. 

The predominating influence of the 
woman, through her spirituality, is to 
uplift society while that of the man, gov- 
erned to a greater extent by his animal 
passions and selfish propensities, is to tear 
it down when he does not treat the 
daughter of another as he would wish his 
own daughter to be treated. 

Considering the enormous opportuni- 
ties that men have always had, until re- 
cently, over women in educational and in- 
dustrial pursuits, one would expect them 
to show marked intellectual superiority, 
but where women have been permitted 
(by masculine authority) to enter schools 
upon an equal chance with men, their 
mentality forces itself to the highest pin- 

46 



nacle that man-caliber has ever attained, 
and in addition to that preserves mor- 
ality in society where the man individ- 
uality neglects it. 

When any man considers himself the 
superior of woman he has too large fac- 
ulties of Nos. 25, 41, 9, 10, and too small 
of 21, 7, 24. When such men try to con- 
vince you, girls, that you, alone, are the 
' ' apple of their eye ' ' and that no one else 
ever enters their thoughts for affection, 
be wary of what they tell you, no matter 
how very polite and gentlemanly and 
agreeable they may be, if you have any 
desire to preserve your virtue and 
modesty. Take a look at Fig. 1, the kind 
of man we have just described; note how 
straight up and down his head is in the 
back at 13 and how it bulges out at 25 
and how flat it is at 7-21 and how deceit- 
ful his eye looks and brutal the chin and 
mouth. Will you know him when some 
friend introduces him to you, or will you 
be so frustrated that you will forget all 
that we have told you ? 

Compare Fig. 2, with Fig. 1, and note 
the difference in expresion. The faculties 
of the mind inside the head, create the 
expression on the outside of the face. In 
head 2, you see a full, open, honest eye 
because there is nothing back of it to 
hide ; you see a full round back-head at 
13, 24, 12, 23, which guarantees love of 
home, love of children, love and devotion 
to only one life companion, friendship 

47 





48 



for everybody, and 34 will see to it that 
the family is well provided for. When 
No. 39 is large and the head at 9 and 10 
is full, they give him firmness and 
confidence in himself and his own ability 
to succeed in business. 

Probably he wouldn't be so exceed- 
ingly and gushingly agreeable to the girl 
of the present day, as Fig. 1 would, but 
in married life, if he got a girl with large 
Nos. 21, 7, 13, 12, 24, 19, 3, 4, 35, 9, 30, 
which he ought to get with opposite tem- 
perament from his own, or one who looks 
about like Fig. 18, neither of them could 
ever have cause to regret it. 

But, remember, girls, that not one 
man in fifty will be so tender-hearted and 




49 



attentive to every little wish that you 
might have, gentle in manner, courteous 
in company, considering your pleasures 
in sacrifice of his own, after you are mar- 
ried as he did before, and don't expect it, 
for you will be disappointed, unless, of 
course, your choice happens to be the 
fifty-first type, the one exception out of 
fifty-one. 

You will naturally wonder why your 
intended husband will be any different 
after the wedding than he was before, 
as many girls have already inquired, and 
there is only one explanation — you are in 
a different environment entirely; it is a 
new kind of life, one that brings out the 
faculties in each other that were inactive, 
dormant before marriage, but which are 
very much alive afterwards — they are 
Nos. 13, 24, 25 in both the husband and 
wife; therefore you are beginning a new 
condition, and not, as you might imagine, 
continuing in the old relationship of hid- 
ing things from each other that your 
modesty has persisted in doing, and 
the result will be that you will love each 
other then either a great deal more or a 
great deal less than you did before. 

Don't deceive yourself into the belief 
or hope that married life is as' free and 
easy as single life is, unless you have 
learned to select the companion best suit- 
ed to your own individual characteristics 
and one who is on the same plane of vi- 

50 



bration as yourself; then, neither of you 
will ever regret the beautiful change. 

Some people contend that it is im- 
possible to "see" the true nature and 
disposition of a person by the shape of 
the head and face; if such were true, then 
they would choose Fig. 1 for a friend as 
quickly as they would Fig. 2. How is it 
with you who have read so far in this 
book? 

Fig. 1 would best succeed in some 
business where graft was the principal 
feature, for his small Faculty 21 and 
large faculties of 39 and 40 and very 
large faculty of 25 would give him a sen- 
sually selfish nature. 

Figure 2 would succeed best in 
some business that deals with all kinds 
of people, as he would make many friends 
through his upright methods of conduct- 
ing it, both for the employees and the 
buying public. He would be fair and 
reasonable, though firm and persistent 
and thorough, in everything he under- 
took. 

COMPARISON OP TYPES. 

In Figs. 3 and 4 we have two 
different types of men, both however, 
on the morality side of nature. One 
is a student, the other a "business 
getter," see the great difference in the 
shape of the forehead — Nos. 5, 16, 30, 19, 
gives a desire in Fig. 3 to study and in- 
vestigate the spiritual side of life, and 4, 

51 



31 to fathom the laws and vastness of sid- 
erial nature, and anything relating to ed- 
ucational problems. Figure 4 has little 
thought of anything except what is on 
the material side of life , being of a very 
forceful, energetic, dynamic tempera- 
ment, with all the perceptive faculties 
(3, 14, 26, 27, 35, 36, 4, 15, 1) large and 6 
very large, and 9, 41, 25, also large, it 
would require a pretty hard blow to stop 
his headlong impetuosity in piling up, 
business for his employers. For a part- 
ner in business, his conscientiousness 
would keep him on the right side for suc- 
cess, and his full qualities at 24, 23, 10 
would hold him within the exclusiveness 
of his wife and family. Figure 3, on the 
other side, has too small 13, 25, 24, to 
make married life so happy as it should 
be as the wife would undoubtedly, be 
neglected in affectionate demonstrations 
and his children would fear and dislike 
him. 

Referring to Fig. 15 we have a front 
view of much the same type of intellect, 
only more so and more of a nervous dis- 
position, as the body would not be strong 
enough to nourish the hard thinking 
work of the brain. 

All of the great artists, musicians, 
teachers and philosophers have possessed 
the elemental faculties of 27, 30, 28, 37, 2, 
5, 16, in a large degree. Nothing but a 
union in wedlock of similar types could 
have harmonious results, as the delicate 
sensitiveness of the higher type could 

53 




never vibrate upon the same plane as one 
of ordinary intellect, therefore, discord- 
ant, repulsive, and unbearable conditions 
would be continually asserting them- 
selves, unless however, the dominant fac- 
ulties of the lower type, were Nos. 7, 21, 
23, 13, 24, 9, 10, 34, and on the feminine 
side of the union. 

In Figs. 5 and 6 we have another 
comparison of types which must convince 
you without any further doubt, that to 
"know how" to detect a few of the bad 
characteristics in a person's head, might 
prove to be a life-saver at some time or 
other, for instance, we would dislike to 

54 



meet a man on a dark night who has such 
a destructive faculty of 41, so very large, 
and the good qualities 21, 19, so very 
small as Fig. 5 indicates, unless our cos- 
tume was bullet proof, and not a cent in 
our pocket. 

,But Fig. 6 we would feel perfectly 
safe in meeting at any time or place, or 
even to allow him the sanctity of our 
home and family, or joining him in a bus- 
iness venture. 

So much for knowing how to "see 
for yourself " enough of human nature to 
amply protect one's self in every walk of 
life. 

For further examples of good and 
bad characteristics, plainly visible to 
those who are now beginning to "see 
things" beyond the adamant wall of bone 
and flesh, look at Figs. 9, 10, 11, 12. 
Figure 11, a type one often sees in the 
cunning, avaricious, wary bargain hunter 
of short time loans with big interest, an 
easy "rake in" for the innocent darlings 
at home and Raehael, who never knows or 
cares, what suffering in the other homes 
such unreasonable borrowings bring 
about. 

His sanctimonious innocence may work 
upon your own credulity, if your under- 
standing of his "bumps" and "hollows" 
is defective. 

Figure 12 is to illustrate excessive 
love for good things to eat and drink to 
the extent of making a pig and a sot of 

56 



himself, as can be seen in the heavy thick 
lips and chin and double chin, large 
fleshy neck, and very large organs of 25, 
41, 40, 9, but small organs at 7, 8, 10. A 
marriage with that type of, or rather ex- 
cuse, of the masculine side of humanity, 
would be a travesty upon society, and 
whoever would be inveigled into "tak- 
ing him for better or for worse" would 
have our utmost sympathy. He would 
have affinities everywhere. 




But now we have arrived in the pres- 
ence of the jolly type and what a change 
about of feeling we ourselves have in the 
describing of such a nature. (See Fig. 
13.) In him we have cheerfulness and 

58 



a winnning smile whenever he greets us 
because one of his dominant faculties, is 
mirthfulness (29). 

He is so fat that he can't get his eyes 
open very far but he has no tricky deceit- 
fulness lurking behind the eyelids as most 
squinty eyes do have. He wants you to 
"call again' ' often, as his Suavity (No. 
17) makes him pleasant to everybody and 
the result is you will want to buy all of 
your groceries at his store, to which his 
"bump" of acquisitiveness (No. 39) will 
have no objection. 

His conscientiousness (21) is large 
enough to not allow any of his employees 
to deal out defective goods intentionally. 
He would make a good partner in busi- 
ness as he is a good "mixer" and he 
would make a good husband as he would 
always see to it that his family was never 
ragged nor hungry, and also because his 
wife could "boss" him to her heart's con- 
tent and he would enjoy being "bossed" 
if she was doing the bossing. 

The following type of man (Fig. 14), 
would not be so easily "managed" by his 
wife, but he might succumb to the sweet 
innocence of a favorite daughter or niece, 
although he seems to be stern and severe. 
He is a person of large physical construc- 
tion, bony, angular, athletic. Such a 
type likes freedom of action, cannot en- 
dure restraint and prefers out-of-door 
pursuits. The face is broad in general 
pivtline; cheek bones prominent; chin and 

59 




jaw broad and prominent, and the whole 
body tends to ruggedness). With only 
ordinary intelligence they are best suited 
to occupy their time with menial, physi- 
cal drudgery, but with large faculties of 
Nos. 4, 5, 16, 2, 38, 14, 26, they would 
make leaders in engineering, manufact- 
uring and mining. 

This type of man has high ideals of 
home life, but cares little or nothing for 
society. 

Having large faculties of 21, 7, 23, 
24, 13, 34, 41, he tolerates nothing sly, 
tricky or deceitful, and would make a far 
better husband than lover, since he has 
no inclination to palvaerism. 

60 



DISHONESTY. 

is most easily seen from a rear view 
of the head, (Pig. 21). This is the one 
faculty of the brain that positively 
demonstrates the true character of all 
people of all nations and of all religious 
denominations — the faculty of conscienti- 
ousness (No. 21). In Fig. 21 you will find 
it on each side of No. 9. and from a side 
view of the head is directly above the 
back edge of the ear. In the real head 
it is located about one and a half inches 
either side of Firmness (No. 9). 

Be very particular about its correct 
location, since it is the most necessary 
faculty in determining character. If you 
find a flat or hollow place there, you can 
put that person down as dishonest under 
all circumstances, and if the head at Nos. 
25-41, show "bumps" 

Then all girls beware ! beware ! ! ! 

Don't trust your affections there!! 

Fig. 20 would serve you right; 

Put trust in him with all your might. 

Note the difference in the shape of 
these two heads. Fig. 20 has a decided 
bump or fullness at No. A, giving that 
person a never failing desire to do the 
right thing by everybody. The faculties 
at 24, 23, 13, all denote affection and 
friendship as the head is large, full and 
broad at these points. 

Fig. 21 has hollows at 21 and bumps 
at 25, 41, all of which indicate brutality, 

61 



deceitfulness, treachery, viciousness and 
lust. 




41: 



§am 



fill 



U/ 




Such a man would care for no one 
but himself and his own gratification of 
promiscuous sensuality. 

He would be extremely polite to 
ladies and act the "perfect gentleman' ' 

62 



but diplomatic in every move he made. 
He is so full of magnetism in his make- 
up, that he would soon gain the complete 
confidence of most women who had never 
learned how to detect the secrets beneath 
the bony covering of the brain. 

A man of these propensities would 
succeed best at the saloon business, prize 
fighting, horse racing, gambling, or any 
similar vocation. 

EGOTISM. 

Is not a particular faculty of itself, 
but a combination of Nos. 22, 10, as seen 
in Fig. 22. The main assistant of 22 and 
10 is Firmness (9) located at the extreme 
top of the head on a vertical line from the 
back rim of the ear. The first support 
of 9 is 34; it makes one resist any inter- 
ference with their own superior good 
judgment. They have a very exalted 
opinion of their ability and if 23, 21 are 
small and 41, 25 large, they impose their 
self-importance upon every one within 
sight or hearing, because of their posi- 
tiveness that others' opinions are of 
small consequence. Possibly such a per- 
son may have stored up a vast amount of 
general knowledge, which his dominating 
faculties at Nos. 3, 6 are constantly ob- 
taining, but so much display of it upon 
ordinary mentality becomes tiresome 
when it is forced upon one every day, 
rain or shine. 

63 







As a lawyer or politician he might 
succeed since he would be persistently 
insistent in ferreting out difficult prob- 
lems in law or conniving trickery, but as 
a husband, the wife would have to make 
up her mind at once to give up all of her 
freedom to his domineering disposition, 
nor ever venture an argument with him 
nor resent any imposition that he might 
desire to make for it would avail noth- 
ing to oppose him; he would have his 
own desires satisfied, regardless of con- 
sequences, to her health or happiness. 

64 



" SAFETY FIRST" FOR GIRLS. 

Now, girls, don't think that the most 
attentive and agreeable fellow, will make 
the best husband, for it is more often the 
case that he will not. Large Approba- 
tiveness and Amativeness make a fellow 
gush over with flattery and pretty say- 
ings about yourself, just to get you to be- 
lieve all he tells you, "fall in love" with 
him and afterwards fall out of love when 
you have plenty of time to think it over 
in your lonesomeness, and desertion. 

A real worthy young man (or old 
one either) who has honesty of purpose, 
will never flatter you nor tell you that 
you are the prettiest ,^irl he ever saw, 
nor tell you that you have the prettiest 
form, nor will ever take you into a dis- 
reputable place of amusement, nor will 
ever smoke in your presence without per- 
mission, nor will ask you to take intoxi- 
cating liquors, nor will ever use profane 
or vulgar language in your company, and 
will always treat you with the same 
courtesy that he would his grandmother, 
and if he loves you, he will "give up" 
any bad habit for your sake; if he will 
not give up any such habit, when he is 
positive that you want him to, then he 
does not love you enough to make you 
happy if you were married to him. 

The excuse that he might make, that 
you were selfish in asking him to stop a 

65 



habit that was enjoyment to him, proves 
to you that he is far more * ' in love ' ' with 
his filthy habit than he is with you, and 
therefore, you would have one faculty of 
obstinacy to grieve over before you got 
any farther in the anticipated circum- 
stances of the future. "Safety First" 
gives the most security for happiness un- 
der all conditions. 

When you see a young fellow that 
walks along the street in a slouchy, 
sloppy, humped-over, indifferent attitude, 
you can put him down as a careless, 
thoughtless, wishy-washy individual. He 
wall never have enough Self-esteem, 
Firmness, Combativeness, Acquisitiveness 
Conscientiousness, Order and Approba- 
tiveness to keep the grease spots off his 
clothes, nor his cigarette filth in the cus- 
pidor, nor his hat and coat on the peg 
selected for them, nor help you wash the 
dishes, nor help you keep the house clean, 
nor do anything to make it easier for 
you, whether you are tired or not, be- 
cause all he cares for is his own personal 
pleasures. If you are blind to all these 
outward signs before you take him for 
" worse" (we leave off the rest of the 
saying because that part of it would not 
happen) you have no one but yourself to 
blame for it. 

And when you find a man who is al- 
ways telling about his own wonderful 

66 



achivements in art or literature, or edu- 
cation or inventions, or public oratory, or 
anything else that he has become profi- 
cient in, or, that was so natural in his 
"make up" that he couldn't help himself, 
very well, whatever the cause might be, 
he will always be egoistic and very tire- 
some for an every-day diet to people who 
are not so accomplished. His dominant 
mind faculty is Approbativeness — two 
large bumps on each side and in close 
proximity to Self-esteem a faculty that 
takes special delight in crowing and 
bragging about all the great things that 
he has done. Of course this kind of a 
man might be preferable to the slovenly 
one just before mentioned, but neither 
one of them would be very agreeable for 
steady companions. 

AN IDEAL COMPARISON 

FOR MATRIMONIAL UNION 

IN TEMPERAMENT ONLY. 

This is not a comparison of Mind 
Faculties, simply a proper proportion 
outside of the mind entirely. 

To secure the most natural course 
for contentment and happiness in mar- 
ried life, from a physical point of view, 
the woman should not be younger than 
23 and the difference in ages not less 
than five years nor more than ten the man 
being the elder; there should be a differ- 

67 



ence in weight of forty or fifty pounds: 
a difference in height of six inches ; a dif- 
ference in complexion of blue and brown 
eyes; or black and gray; or light blue and 
brown or hazel; light and dark hair, al- 
though the hair does not make so much 
difference as the color of the eyes; the 
contour of the head is very important, a 
narow head between the ears in one and 
a wider one in the other; height of head 
above the ears should not be the same in 
both; shape of forehead should be differ- 
ent; shape of back-head should be round 
in both, one full and broad at the top 
back-head, the other full and round at 
the middle back-head; one should have 
thin lips, the other thick lips, the woman 
with the latter type is preferable; the 
man should have a broad, square jaw and 
prominent chin, rather than the woman; 
the man should never be condsidered 
pretty in the face, as he would be worth- 
less for anything but a freak sideshow. 

FEMININE ANALYSIS. 

Though womanly nature on the 
whole is more pliable, plastic and agree- 
able than that of her masculine neighbor, 
and her delicate influence upon the hu- 
man race more elevating, she comes 
within our field for analyzing for the 
sake of protection to herself and of ed- 
ucating the opposite sex in her true re- 
lationship to real progression. See Figs. 
16 and 17. 

68 



PREJUDICE OF THE IGNORANT 
EXPLODED. 

In our figures 1 6, 17 we have two op- 
posite types, which are seen in every 
neighborhood, one of them spreading 
benevolence and happiness wherever she 
goes, the other sowing scandal with 
equally as much grace. If there is noth- 
ing but "bunk," as some call it, in Crani- 
oscopy, then those of that idea would se- 
lect one of these as quickly as the other, 
and we cannot allow such to use the ex- 
pression in the face nor the shape of the 
head to make a selection by, because that 
is using the science which is ridiculed. 

The fact of the problem is, every- 
body uses science of cranioscopy to some 
extent, as there is no other possible way 
of determining character, but the one 
who is willing to admit that there is 
enough in it to be worth studying, and 
will study it, is the only one who is self- 
protected against all the selfish secrets | * 
that dwell inside the brain of those he 
comes in contact with, and what more 
valuable asset could any young man or 
woman ever possess than to be able to 
"read" any face on sight? We know of 
no other accomplishment so valuable and E j 
so easy to obtain. 

To return to our Figs. 16 and 17 per- 
haps you can "see for yourself" by this p 
time in your increased knowledge of [ 
character study, that Fig. 16 is really the [ 
only type of the two, that most persons 

70 



o 



i 



would wish to associate with. There is 
;not one bad, malicious thought in that 
face. The faculties 19, 21, 7, 8, 24, 13, 
imake of her an ideal companion for 
i sweet home life ; the kind that all worthy 
■men want, and is possible to get if they 
are well versed in the art that we are 
teaching. 

Fig. 17 is devoted more to material 

pleasures for herself than for anyone else 

and she wouldn't hesitate a moment to 

obtain such pleasure at the expense of 

any sacrifice upon the part of others. 

; It is not her nature to be grateful to any 

one for a favor. She would be pleased 

Ifor the favor, but as to any sentimental 

Reeling towards the giver, such a thing 

would not enter her mind after her own 

selfish propensities — Nos. 9, 41, 33, 25, 

had been fully satisfied. She would not 

'hesitate to indulge in flirtations if they 

were profitable to her. 

The face of Fig. 16 shows no desire 
to be anything but a quiet, inoffensive, 
home-loving wife and mother, but the 
expression in Fig. 18 is full of business, 
whether it is to assist a husband in his 
! own labors, or to run a business of her 
own — more likely the latter, and while 
she has a head for business, she will not 
neglect one single friend. Her Friendship 
(23) and her honesty and Conscientious- 
|ness (21) hold within bounds her great 
desire to accumulate property too rapidly 
through Acquisitiveness (39) not allow- 
ing any discrepancies to appear, and she 

71 



would not hesitate to help the poor and 
needy in a limited degree, but she is 
not so apt to give a "hand out" as the 
type of Fig. 16 would do. 

The character of Fig. 19 is another 
of a selfish nature but more on the pe- 
nurious, avaricious order than Fig. 17. 

2a 




She is the kind that is always econ- 
omizing on everything possible, for in- 
stance: — if you were being entertained 
at her home, she would skimp on what 
she had to eat, and what would be of the 
least trouble to prepare ; she would have 
all the lights in the house turned out ex- 
cept the ones over the very spot where 
you were sitting, and if by any chance 

72 



you should wander into a convenient 
nook for a quiet seance by yourself and 
should knock a hole in your head from 
the unlighted gas fixture she would be 
mortified at her forgetfulness (?) in "not 
seeing to things better", and might per- 
haps, patch up the hole that her negli- 
gence had caused; but when she returns 
your visit, and finds your home all so 
cheerful and cosy and comfortable in 
every nook and corner with lights ablaze 
in profusion, she enjoys it at your ex- 
pense but she is "too poor" to provide a 
similar pleasure for you. 

She is old-maidish in all her social 
views, and is decidedly particular in the 
entertainment of gentlemen friends with- 
out having a chaperon for protection. 

The bump of Acquisitiveness and the 
one of Firmness are both so large that 
they pinch her features into the smallest 
space possible. 

She would not attempt to gain 
through flirtations because no one would 
flirt with her, and if she ever succeeded 
in "catching" a husband, it would pro- 
bably be from mercenary principles on 
his part, anticipation of an idle life and 
physical pleasures in a comfortable lim- 
ousine with others more agreeable and 
more in harmony with his own base de- 
signs, while his wife was busily engaged 
at home in her wifely duties. 

She would very likely have accumu- 
lated considerable property before she 
"landed" a husband for "better or for 

73 



worse" as her personal attractions would 
not appeal to any of the masculine per- 
suasion, although her intellectuality is 
decidedly predominant; which also goes 
to show that a predominance of intellect 
is not what the vast majority of men, 
whether of high or low type, are looking 
for in women kind, which is unfortunate ' 
for progression in the human race of the 
future. Again we say, "Wake up, 
everybody!!!" 

Fig. 17 cares nothing for money ex- 
cept to get it for the purchase of the lat- 
est styles of fashion in which to decorate 
herself for new conquests. 

Pig. 19 cares for nothing but money 
with which to pile up in her safe-deposit- 
vault until the roof bulges from the force 
of it. She doesn't feel sorry for the un- 
fortunate cripples, the worthy poor, nor 
the indiscreet, unprotected mothers who 
have been sinned against rather than sin- 
ned. She thinks she is religious because 
she says her prayers every day and asks 
for her own salvation — not that she 
thinks she has done anything wrong in 
this life, for she hasn't swindled anyone, 
but because she wants to be on the "safe 
side" in the opinion of her Maker. 

"SAFETY FIRST" FOR BOYS. 

To determine whether a woman is a 
tidy housekeeper or not, notice particu- 
larly, if the faculties 36, 30 and 10 are 
round and fully developed. No. 36 

74 



gives a desire to keep things in order; 
30 loves the beautiful in everything and 
detests filthy habits; 10 gives self re- 
spect; large 22 gives the ambition to ex- 
cel others in the general appearance of 
the home and of herself ; such a woman 's 
clothes will never be unpresentable, 
whether it be kitchen or parlor costume. 
Her shoes will never run over at the heel ; 
her kitchen apron will be white and spot- 
less ; her kitchen floor will never be a 
catch-all for crumbs to be trampled 
under the feet and to track all over the 
rest of the house ; her street costume will 
never show a soiled skirt below or under- 
neath the dress; her hose will not be 
holey; she will never be decorated with 
highly colored cosmetics; she will be sen- 
sible, pure and sweet, worthy of any 
worthy wholesome man, who is in vibra- 
tory correspondence with herself. 

A kind hearted girl is never disre- 
spectful to her parents, and is always 
ready to help her mother without being 
asked to do so. She is cheerful around 
the home and never is petulant and cross 
to anybody, not even to her brothers and 
sisters, and, boys, if she isn't pleasant to 
the mother who would sacrifice all of her 
own comforts, and work from daylight 
till dark every day and every year, to see 
that she is well provided for in clothes 
and education, you don't want that kind 
of a girl. She would never be pleasant 
around her own home, no matter how 
much attention she was getting from you. 

75 



Safety first before it is too late to re- 
tract. 

When you find a girl who will dis- 
apoint you to "help out a tired mother, or 
a tired sister, don't be angry with her 
but thank your stars that you are lucky 
enough to know that kind of a girl, and 
if ever anything happens that you "fall 
in love" with each other, we truly hope 
you will never abuse her loveliness, for 
that kind of a girl needs and deserves a 
worthy husband, one who will never 
neglect her nor be untrue in any sense of 
the word. 

Paces Pretty and Plain, Very Important 
to Consider. 

Frivolous girls with pretty feet and 
faces 

Think of naught but self and amuse- 
ment places; 

But homely features with prettiest 
of ways 

Are the dependable kind who seek 
no praise. 

And, boys, when a pretty girl asks 
you if her unknown rival is pretty you 
can depend upon her as being vain and 
thinks of nothing but praise for herself; 
if she neglects to ask if her rival is intelli- 
gent and sensible, you can put her down 
as being very deficient in both, and as 
small faculties of Individuality, Compari- 
son, Causality, Conscientiousness, Self- 
esteem, Gratitude, which gives one the 
desire to know something worth know- 

76 



ing; to do the right thing by all; to be 
useful and have ability to accomplish 
great things; and to be thankful and 
grateful for what they receive from 
others. 

She has large mind faculties of self- 
ishnesst — such as Approbativteness, Sec- 
retiveness, Destructiveness, Acquisitive- 
ness, Amativeness. 

The first (22) wants nothing but 
praises, petting and pampering and 
pretty clothes to wear and auto rides and 
somewhere to go at someone's else ex- 
pense; she never thinks of nor cares if 
her "fellow" can't afford all she wants; 
the second (33) makes her secret in her 
manner of obtaining the things that suit 
her extravagant desires; the third (41) 
gives a tendency to destroy any kind 
feeling that her friends may have to- 
wards others where it interferes with 
her own affairs; the fourth (39) is an 
active assistant to 33 being mercenary 
and diplomatic enough to obtain things 
without any inconvenience to herself; 
the fifth (25) furnishes the magnetic 
soporific influence that hypnotizes the 
fellow into doing anything she suggests 
if his pocket book will withstand the 
strain. 

She soon "runs dry" of anything to 
say because she never reads the daily 
events; never studies educational sub- 
jects; perhaps has her mind on a cheap 
love novel; never thinks of literature of 
any kind; and never has enough energy 

77 



left after all of her social conquests to 
want to learn of things worth while, 
therefore, knows of nothing worth while 
to talk about, however, it is far better 
to keep still than to indulge in malicious 
gossip and ridicule of some of her ac- 
quaintances, who have much more intel- 
ligence than she has. 

In nine cases out of ten with "pret- 
ty' ' girls it is more the fault of the par- 
ents, who have spoiled them through 
making them conscious of their "good 
looks", than it is with the girls them- 
selves, and by these means have built on 
or added to the bumps of vanity and self- 
ishness and deceitfulness in the girl, in- 
stead of ennobling her facial beauty with 
the beauties of brilliancy and intellect. 

The girl with homely features is far 
more apt to have a kind, considerate, af- 
fectionate disposition — large mind fac- 
ulties of 7, 21, A, 23, 13, 10, 34, 24, 5, 16, 
19, 20, 32 — all good qualities and an hon- 
est desire to know things worth knowing, 
and to do kind deeds for others, and rare- 
ly thinks of anything selfish. 

Take your choice, boys. You are fa- 
miliar now with the surface indicators, 
and the rest is up to you. 

GOSSIPING. 

Comes directly from 22, as that faculty 
is unreasonably jealous of others' success 
socially, and if 41 and 33 are large, such 
a person will pretend to one's face to be 

78 



their best friend, and then turn around 
and through detestable jealousy and vi- 
ciousness will make sly, oily, innocent re- 
marks, hoping that their listeners will 
be gullible enough to believe and swallow 
every word they did say and imagine a 
lot more things that they didn't say. 

A little accurate knowledge of the 
dceitfulness that lurks underneath that 
cranium would be a blessing to any who 
might be obliged to listen to their gossip- 
ing remarks, and have the courage to re- 
fute it, with insistence, to the detriment 
of the offender. 

Beware of all gossipers, for no one 
knows when their own turn on the pre- 
ferred list will be brought into public 
view. Our lady Fig. 17 would make an 
expert gossiper. 

MISSTATEMENTS EXPOSED. 

We once heard an amateur cranios- 
copist make the assertion that when 
Spirituality (No. 19) was very large that 
such a person thought they "saw things" 
and heard " voices' ' in the air, but that 
it was only imagination on their part, 
caused by superstition and ignorance. 
This amateur has not recognized that the 
brain is simply the physical instrument 
through which the mind functions, the 
mind using this brain being the spiritual 
man, and that Spirituality is just as 
much manifested in reality, as any other 
mind faculty, also that a person with that 

79 



very large, is exceedingly sensitive to 
sounds that ordinary mortals are uncon- 
scious of, and also such are extremely 
psychic and sensitive to any invisible in- 
fluence, on account of their being upon 
a far higher plane of vibration than those 
who never experience any such phenom- 
ena. 

For the same reason, the faculty of 
Tune (No. 28) when very large, hears 
delicate strains in music, that others with 
no faculty of Tune, would not detect at 
all, though in each case one person would 
have just as healthy auditory nerves as 
the other, but that is no proof that there 
are no delicate sounds in music as this 
amateur would have you believe con- 
cerning "voices' 1 in the air. 

In the writer's own words we illus- 
trate the faculty of 

POSITIVENESS. 

Positiveness is the combination of 
large faculties, 9, 10, 11, 19, 41, 25, giving 
one the power to dominate the person 
who has smaller faculties of the same 
kind, without even speaking to or touch- 
ing that person, as an instance of my own 
experience: — walking along the sidewalk 
about 100 feet ahead of me, I spied a girl 
friend of mine among a lot of other 
pedestrians, and I wanted her to stop and 
wait for me. I put my positive forces at 
work, and she kept looking around back 
of her but didn't see me ; in a moment she 

80 



turned the corner towards her own home, 
entirely out of my sight, and I saw her 
coming back around the corner, and met 
me. I asked her what she came for and 
she could give no reason, but I knew why 
and told her. 

At many other times while concen- 
trating my mind upon the analysis of 
strangers that I had never seen before, 
they would often turn around their whole 
body and look me straight in the eye, 
which indisputably proves that one mind 
of a positive or determined nature does 
have influence over another of less posi- 
tiveness. As one proof, in my own ex- 
perience, I have stood at the foot of a 
sick bed, and without touching the 
patient who was suffering the most ex- 
cruciating pain and so nervous that she 
would almost leap from the bed, with my 
power of concentration and magnetism 
Nos. 11, 9, 41, 34, 25, I could quiet her in 
barely a minute of time until she would 
drop off to sleep. 

I w r ould feel exhaustion for a few 
moments but the normal condition would 
soon return, and I would be ready for 
the work again. Many times I have per- 
manently cured violent nervous head- 
aches, in less than 10 minutes, but in 
this case I am obliged to hold the head 
between my hands, for the purpose of 
more localized concentration. 

These experiences are related only 
to show that any person may have these 
positive faculties in their head, unbe- 

81 



Known to themselves, as was the fact in 
my own case, until I had ^earned to 
analyze myself, and then experimented 
out of curiosity. 

FIRMNESS AND PARENTAL LOVE IN 
PREFERENCE TO DESTRUCTIVE- 
NESS AND BRUTE FORCE FOR 
GOVERNING CHILDREN. 

Destructiveness and Combativeness 
and Firmness are three faculties of the 
mind that forces everybody else out of 
the way, if the person who excercises it 
has the brute strength to carry out the 
intention, and in no other place does it 
crop out so forcibly, and so often, inex- 
cusably, as in the home. In other places 
it would very quickly run its head 
against a stone wall. 

If parents would recognize the fact, 
that any disposition in their children, 
comes not from the child's own volition, 
but from their own ignorance or indif- 
ference in their progenerating relations, 
haphazard amorous passions, pre-natal 
influences and incontinency, injurious to 
good results, perhaps, yes perhaps they 
would exercise some sense. 

"When from some of these deplorable 
influences and impressions upon the little 
mind that is slowly growing into physical 
life, it soon manifests, after birth, pre- 
dominant selfish faculties, then is the 
time to remould those characteristics, be- 
cause they are then in a re-moulding con- 

82 



dition, while the longer they are left to 
I their natural course, the more they be- 
come hardened and set from their con- 
tinued violent activity in expressing 
| themselves, and the more difficult that 
j condition is to control. 

As soon as the little toddling ball of 
humanity begins to assert itself, and 
fights for its own way, in spite of reproof, 
you will know at once that the faculties 
of Destructiveness (41) and Combative- 
ness (34) and Firmness (9) are dominant 
I at that time, and if it is selfish with its 
; playthings or with anything it has, and 
| won't allow other children to share with 
! it alike, then the faculty of Acquisitive- 
I ness (39) is also dominant. The head 
will be very wide between the ears in 
proportion to the length, and height 
above the ears, which is not a desirable 
indication and should be re-moulded so 
far as possible without any delay or ne- 
glect on the part of the parents. 

If the babe is of a pleasant, laughing 
disposition it needs no re-moulding until 
later when the faculties have become 
more established, and perhaps no faculty 
will become displeasing at any time in 
its life. 

When a parent ever tries to enforce 
obedience in children, while they are un- 
der an uncontrolled fit of Destructive- 
ness, the child is not alone insulted by 
brute force, but realizes that it is the ob- 
ject of violent anger, rather than the 
object of reproof from Parental Love and 

83 



devotion, and ,such parent forces into 
that child dislike for him or herself, and 
promotes the undesirable faculty of too 
much Destructiveness and Combativeness 
for the future welfare of the child, when 
if the parent had used Firmness (9) and 
Parental Love (13) and Conscientious- 
ness (21) instead, for obtaining obedi- 
ence, neither the child nor the parent 
would have suffered therefrom. 

Quoting again in the author's words: 

I well remember how my father 
would display activity of Destructiveness 
around the home when he would hit his 
toe against a chair in the night, then 
slam the chair into the corner out of his 
way, but when I had disobeyed him (as 
I often did through mischeviousness) his 
Destructiveness never was manifest, but 
his Firmness and Parental Love always 
remembered that he had promised to 
punish me for disobedience about two 
days after what I had done, had happen- 
ed. 

The dread I always had of that com- 
ing event, was the hardest part of my 
punishment, although the latter was no 
small affair. 

My affection for him was always of 
the greatest intensity and of the highest 
respect and he never caused me one 
moment of anger against his method of 
punishment, nor against him, for I was 
well aware of the fact that I was deserv- 
ing of all I got. 

84 



Had he punished me in a violent fit 
of anger, my Combativeness and Firm- 
ness would have rebelled and defied him 
and would have caused me to leave home 
to get rid of the insult he had delivered 
through brute force. 

It is extremely disgraceful in parents 
to so lose control of their senses as to 
drive a child out of the home, and if they 
then stumble into disgrace among disin- 
terested strangers, the sin will be upon 
no one's head but that of the parents, 
for they were the first cause of the child's 
disobedience, through their own incon- 
sistent persistent incontinency which is 
criminally injurious to the moulding of 
good qualities in the new physical and 
mental compounding process before the 
child is born, and afterwards, through 
their lack of understanding that mild 
but firm Persuasiveness and judicious 
reasoning is far better for re-moulding 
character than by unreasonable and un- 
controlled faculties of Destructiveness 
and Combativeness too predominant in 
their own heads. 

Destructiveness will fly into a sud- 
den fit of passion, with the slightest prov- 
ocation, and do the most ridiculous and 
foolish things without an instant's hesi- 
tation, if Cautiousness cannot modify it. 
As an illustration: When my father in 
trying to drive a nail would miss it and 
hit his finger with the hammer instead of 
the nail, he would instantly throw that 
hammer clear out of sight — a foolish 

85 



thing to do I thought at the time, because 
I had to hunt for the hammer while he 
sat down to get over the excitement. 

When Destructiveness runs wild very 
long at a time, the intense activity of 
that mind faculty draws all the blood a- 
way from the stomach, upsets the diges- 
tive organs and often leaves a very ran- 
cid taste in the mouth, as some of our 
readers possibly can testify has been 
their own experience. 

CHOOSING CHILDREN 
FOR ADOPTION. 

The most important part of this prob- 
lem is to have a practical understanding 
of Human Nature, and to obtain this in 
the speediest manner is to study "Mod- 
ern Foresight" from start to finish, for 
there is not a superfluous word on its 
pages. Then, analyze every person you 
see and within a month's time you will be 
pretty well established in the art of 
"catching people on sight." 

You can rest assured of one thing in 
the choice of children. If the head does 
not contain a faculty of the mind that 
represents a certain kind of disposition 
or trait or grade of intelligence that you 
think you must have, it will be impossi- 
ble to obtain it without persistency upon 
your part to remould and develop it. 

It is a very difficult proposition to 
find a satisfactory combination of facul- 

86 



ties at the outset, but if you will memor- 
ize all the surface indicators in our work, 
and then remodel the faculties that 
are abnormal, either too much or too lit- 
tle, good results can be accomplished, but 
by insistent persistency is the only way it 
can be done. We could, perhaps, assist 
you quite considerably if we had photo- 
graphs of a child taken according to our 
directions on another page of this book. 

UNCONSCIOUSLY TEACHING 

CHILDREN TO CULTIVATE UN- 

TRUTHFULNESS AND DECEPTION. 

Nearly every mother teaches her own 
children to be deceitful and tell false- 
hoods. 

That assertion may seem to the 
mothers, to be a downright falsehood, 
but we will quickly prove the truth of it. 

When a mother tells a child to not 
do a certain thing and the child pays no 
attention to the command and the mother 
does nothing thereafter in reproof, the 
child's Combativeness, Firmness, and 
Causality reasons that its mother didn't 
mean what she said, and really was fib- 
bing and that he had as much right to 
fib as his mother did. 

When a mother tells a child that if 
he don't stop doing something that the 
bogie man will get him, and the child 
keeps right on disobeying, he knows that 
his mother is fibbing to him and that if 

87 



she has a right to tell naughty stories, 
that he has too, and does it. 

When the mother tells her little girl 
that if she don't stop crying and making 
such a noise, that she will wake the baby 
and the baby don't wake up from the 
noise, she " sees" that her mother was 
fibbing to her and that if nothing hurts 
her mamma for telling naughty stories, 
that she can do it too without getting 
hurt. 

If the mother tells Bobbie, "Come 
right here this minute or I will punish 
you," and Bobbie's Combativeness be- 
comes active to the extent that he does 
not budge an inch in her direction — and 
his mother "forgets" to punish him for 
disobeying, his Approbativeness, Secret- 
iveness and Causality are reasoning 
"I should worry; mamma never means 
what she says about punishing 'cause she 
never punishes me, and if it don't hurt 
her to fib it won't hurt me," 

If the parents correct their children 
in a high-pitched voice, the child recog- 
nizes anger at once, and not love for 
them and immediately resents it to the 
extent that he will study up some excuse 
to get out of blame and perhaps punish- 
ment, and if he succeeds in the scheme 
just so much more deceitfulness and un- 
truthfulness have been added to the 
already undesirable faculty of Secretive- 
ness and Approbativeness, while if a firm, 
natural pitch of voice is used in reprov- 
ing the child the effect will be to create 

88 



faith, in the honesty of the parents, obed- 
ience on the part of the child and corres- 
ponding development in his faculty of 
Conscientiousness and filial affection. 

When parents are partial to one 
child more than another, such an act 
creates selfishness in the favored one — 
(Nos. 21, 7, A, being restrained and made 
smaller, while No. 22 and 10 are added 
to, producing disagreeable and domineer- 
ing traits.) In the neglected child, the 
faculties of Secretiveness (33) and (34), 
Combativeness and (41), Destructiveness 
are all cultivated and made more promin- 
ent in order to better defend the one 
imposed upon by the parent, therefore 
the parent is creating disagreeable traits 
in both children, by his or her partiality, 
and in after years when strangers com- 
plain of both children being overbearing 
or disrespectful to others, the parents 
will tell you that neither one of them in- 
herited such a disposition — but they do 
not tell you how they came by it through 
their own unreasonable partiality, and 
deference to one more than the other, 
because they have both neglected to edu- 
cate themselves up to that degree of pro- 
gression in caring for children, and do 
not know of the baneful results. 

No one can deny that the above in- 
cidents do take place every day in nearly 
every American family, and that such in- 
fluence on children does grind into their 
wondering and plastic minds the deplor- 

89 



able faculty of lying about everything, 
even telling unreasonable lies if it suits 
their fancy. 

And why do mothers insist upon de- 
veloping that faculty in their own mites 
of humanity — thej little innocents who 
are of their own flesh and blood, mutely 
wondering at all things about them, 
ready to accept and learn the best that 
can be taught? 

Such mothers have too large facul- 
ties of Parental Love and Spirituality, 
and too small faculty of Firmness to de- 
velop in their children characteristics 
that make them lovable and respectful 
to themselves and to friends instead of a 
nuisance, and what a pity, for the little 
souls are not to blame — no one to blame 
but their own indulgent mothers, and 
sometimes fathers. 

The newly-born babe is rarely ever 
developed in the forehead part of the 
brain, since nature only requires that 
part at first representing the physical, 
emotional, and volitional part of the 
brain and until the intellectual teachings 
of the parents can have recognitio'n upon 
the undeveloped, mouldable frontal lobes 
and faculties is it necessary for the de- 
velopment of the intellect to commence, 
therefore, the value of the influences 
through the constant associations of the 
mother and child depends absolutely, up- 
on the degree of firmness or laxity of 
the mother. 

90 



PERSISTENT INCONSISTENCIES 

IN PARENTS ACCELERATE 

DECEITFULNESS IN THEIR 

PROGENY. 

One of the most regrettable condi- 
tions in a family is lack of co-ordination 
in the parents, first, in their attitude to- 
wards each other in the presence or hear- 
ing of their children, and secondly, upon 
all matters concerning the present and 
future welfare of their growing young- 
sters. 

Children depend upon their parents 
for demonstrative affection, sympathy, 
and honesty of purpose, therefore when 
their father and mother disagree, in their 
presence, how they should be governed, 
or what they should study at school, or 
what church they should attend, they 
certainly can't have faith in either one's 
good judgement and feel sure that one or 
the other of their parents are acting out of 
dishonesty of purpose, or, are upholding 
their own stubborn convictions at the ex- 
pense of their embarassed and bewilder- 
ed children, and under these circum- 
stances they must depend in great mea- 
sure upon strangers for advice, and they 
are not slow in getting it, for they have 
no other recourse, to their own sad ex- 
perience sometimes. 

The direct cause of all this condition 
is that both parents are equally endowed 
with the faculty of Stubbornness (9) 
sometimes called Firmness. That faculty 

91 



when very large, will never give up to 
another, much less, to the other half of 
the family head, not even to save their 
young from leaving home in disgust and 
disgrace. Parents of this kind, who have 
not enough Parental Love, and Conscien- 
tiousness and Benevolence to soften their 
Stubborness ought never to bring child- 
ren into the world, filled full of distrust, 
Deceitfulness, f (33), Secretiveness, Des- 
tructiveness, (41) and with small Spirit- 
uality (19), Friendship (23), (12), (13) 
and (20) all selfish, disagreeable faculties 
to harrass society with. 

If such people only had known 
before marriage, how to ferret out these 
inharmonious traits in themselves, what 
a different life could have been theirs, 
but, they do not learn and will they ever 
learn? 

SCHOOL TEACHERS' RESPONSIBILI- 
TIES TO PUPILS. 

If school teachers were well versed 
in the science of cranioscopy, as they 
should by all means be, they would know 
exactly what was necessary on their part 
to obtain willing obedience from each 
and every pupil, also what particular 
studies would be easy, and what would 
be hard for them to learn. 

For examples: — If a boy has large 
Destructiveness (41) Mirthfulness (29) 
Approbativeness (22) Friendship (23) he 
will be full of mischievousness and would 

92 



much rather play than study but such a 
boy is more apt to have also large mem- 
ory which comes from Individuality (3) 
Language (1) and Eventuality (4) yes, 
and Secretiveness (3.3). He would have 
his lessons before the rest of the pupils 
could get ready to start on them, and not 
having anything else to do would slyly 
conjure up something ridiculous, as 
quickly at the expense of the teacher as 
of the rest of the pupils. 

The teacher knowing of all these 
characteristics would be diplomatic and 
have something "very important" for 
bim to occupy his leisure time with such 
as giving her some assistance, when if the 
teacher knew nothing of Head and Face 
analyzing, and would bring into violent 
activity all of her own Destructiveness 
and Combativeness and try to compel the 
boy to desist in his fun, the result might 
be very disastrous to his future welfare, 
and would be, more likely than not. 

If a pupil had large faculties of Nos. 
5, 16, 11, 10, 4, with a mental tempera- 
ment, he would be altogether too studi- 
ous for his own physical health and would 
need different treatment from the other 
lad — out-of-door treatment in the fresh 
air, or beng assistant in athletic exer- 
cises, 

If a pupil did not have any Event- 
uality it would be a waste of energy for 
such a one to study history, just the same 
as it would be if he had not Time nor 
Tune, to study music, or if he had no 

93 



Form, Size, Weight, Color, to study Art, 
or, if he had no Construe tiveness (39), 
Form (2) and (36) to study Mathematics. 
With all these enumerated instances and jL 
in all others, however, the abnormal fac- 
ulties could be restrained and deficient 
faculties cultivated, if the teacher had so 
much knowledge of this science as she 
does have of all the accepted and stand- 
ard works for educational improvment. 

SCHOOL CHILDREN PECULIARITIES. 

VICIOUSNESS— has large 41 for its cen- 
ter, with 34-25 usually large and 7- 
21 small. 

STUBBORNNESS— is made up of 9, 22, 
34. If it is of a forceful kind, No. 
41 is added. 

SENSITIVENESS— is made up of 22-32- 
7-8, with deficient 34-10-6. 

FALSEHOOD PERSISTENCY— consists 
of 22-31-19-33, with deficient 21-10. 

MORALITY — consists of the two neces- 
sary elements, 21-7. 

AFFECTIONATE DISPOSITION— con- 
sists of very large 23-12 and medium 
25, with deficient 41-9. 

LOVE OF STUDY— consists of 5-16-4-30- 
31-22-21. 

PLAYFULNESS— consists principally of 
41, assisted attentively by 29-25-34. 
Teasing is the result of 22, as that 
faculty likes to crow over the fun. 

94 



J TIMIDITY— consists wholly of 32-43-31, 

with small 34, 10 and 41. 

It is almost impossible for a person 

I to look you deliberately in the face, and 

| lie, unless he has perfected himself in the 

I art. The lips will quiver or the eyes will 

drop, or the face will change expression. 

It is an easy thing to recognize the 
j deceit in a child's face under the age of 
twelve years. 

IMPOSSIBILITIES 

IN 
HUMAN BEINGS. 

To accomplish things great, that is, 
to be famous in the eyes of the world, 
abnormal faculties, or an unbalanced 
brain must be dominant. It is an impos- 
sibility to be remarkably brilliant, with- 
out some particular mind faculty being 
developed far in excess of all other facul- 
ties. 

To accomplish ordinary success, it is 
an impossibility to be absolutely certain 
of results without a knowledge of the 
dominant or most developed faculties 
that one possesses before any vocation has 
been decided upon. 

Any other haphazard method would 
be as apt to strike it wrong as right, or 
vice versa. Without the understanding 
of mind faculties in parents, it is an im- 
possibility for them to offer any sugges- 

95 



tions or any advice to their children as to 
the vocation that they should follow and 
to choose the wrong kind might be their 
ruination, for example: If a young man 
was largely endowed with the faculties of 
Destructiveness, Secretiveness, Construc- 
tiveness, Approbativeness, Firmness, Sub- 
limity, Combativeness, Amativeness it 
would be the worst thing that ever could 
happen to himself and family, if his 
mother, who was very pious, would insist 
that he should be a clergyman. 

Or, if a daughter had very large 
mind faculties of Imitation, Time Tune, 
Mirthfulness, Suavity, Friendship, Self- 
esteem she would be an utter failure at 
anything but theatrical work, or of some 
vocation in the musical or entertainment 
line, because she could think of nothing 
else, no matter how much urging from 
parents and friends she was getting to 
take up something else. 

Hundreds of other comparisons could 
be made which would be equally as im- 
possible of success in life where the voca- 
tion adopted was only guessed at, and 
sufficient proof of our assertion is evident 
when one considers all the business fail- 
ures that we read of every day, and of 
the many friends who are switching 
around from "pillar to post" trying to 
find some employment that they can ex- 
cel in enough to hold a position 
permanently.

QUALIFICATIONS OF AN A I 
SALESMAN. 

To be a good salesman it requires a 
combination of special ; characteristics, 
not necessary in any other vocation. 

100 



First of all Mental, Vital Tempera- 
ment must be dominant. This gives dy- 
namic activity in a prominent mental and 
physical organism. Human nature must 
be very large (Faculty, No. 6 convex 
surface) which can see the peculiarities 
of a prospective customer at the first 
glance. 

Then Language must be large in or- 
der to have words at the tongue's end to 
express one's self. 

Then Suavity must be very large in 
order to be agreeable; in no way offen- 
sive in manner or conduct. 

Mirthfulness must be ready at the 
psychological moment to spring a witty 
remark, or tell a funny story. 

Locality must be good that one will 
not forget one's where-a-bouts nor get 
lost in the shuffle, nor be absent-minded. 

Secretiveness must be dominant to 
not over-step the limitations of business 
secrets. 

Friendship must also be large to 
want to be friendly and mix with casual 
acquaintances for sociable and perhaps 
profitable results. 

Combativeness is very necessary to 
generate continuous action and hard dil- 
igent application to the work in hand. 

Cautiousness should be large enough 
to not deal with people who are irrespon- 
sible, nor to have a tendency to over- 
stock a prospective customer so much 
that regrets and cancelations are made 
afterwards. 

101 



Time and Eventuality should be 
good that one never forgets names of 
customers, and to always be punctual in 
promises, even to the minute, as a mo- 
ment's delay often upsets other arrange- 
ments which are not easily over-looked 
by the disappointed one. 

Order is quite essential, in that there 
will be no time lost in looking for artic- 
les that otherwise would be left around 
in a helter-skelter fashion. 

Amativeness should be only medium 
in degree — just enough to make one po- 
lite and courteous; too much of this fac- 
ulty would have too many "love affairs " 
in different towns to admit of diligent 
salesmanship. 

Alimentiveness should also be of 
medium degree, else the salesman would 
imbibe too freely of that which muddles 
the brain. 

Individuality should be large so no- 
thing worth while would escape observa- 
tion. 

Approbativeness is another very es- 
sential faculty in a good salesman ; it al- 
ways gives a desire to excel in business 
getting, as much to be on the topmost 
round of success above competitors, as to 
keep the employer end of the line, busy 
filling orders; it also keeps the personal 
appearance of a salesman in presentable 
condition. 

The facial indicators : — prominent 
Perceptive faculties just above the eyes 

102 



and eyebrows ; full eyeballs and a snappy 
expression of the eye; a straight well 
developed nose; a long stiff upper lip; 
a mouth with straight horizontal closure 
and medium thickness of lips; a promin- 
ent square chin ; cheeks that are full ; and 
an ear that is rounding at the top and 
bottom, and stands out from the head. 

HEAD READING BY PHOTOGRAPHS 
AND MEASUREMENTS. 

If our readers are not satisfied with 
their own analysis by the mirror plan, 
and cannot determine what vocation they 
should engage in, we will do what we can 
in a personal way to assist any who will 
follow our directions explicitly: — 

Have three different photographic 
views made of your head — one square 
front — one square back and one square 
side similar to the Figs. A, B, C, with 
plain dark or gray back-ground. For 
the front view have the camera at the ele- 
vation that will show the outline of the 
top-head from the hair-line back to head 
faculty No. 9 but not looking down too 
much. The camera ought to be on a 
level with the eyes. 

The lighting must be so the head 
stands out in relief, and not look as 
though it was stuck on to the paper, and 
it can be done with a kodak, if you can 
produce a head one inch in diameter with 
the camera at six feet distant from the 

103 



subject, otherwise have it done in a stu- 
dio on a postal card. We don't want 
any retouching done on the negatives. 

Send us two prints from each nega- 
tive, unmounted. 

The long hair of a woman must be 
combed down flat and tight to the head, 
and pulled around out of sight in the 
photograph. A man's hair should also 
lay flat and smooth and with the profile 
view, must show "part" in the hair. 




Measure the head according to Pig. 
24. Give the distance around the head 
on the line A from the center of the fore- 
head around the most prominent part of 
the back-head. 

Distance of the dotted line B from 
the root of the nose up over the top and 

104 



down to the bony point in the lower 
back-head. Distance from the ear open- 
ing on one side, over the top of the head 
and down to the other ear opening'. 

Give us also the correct height, 
weight, and size of body at the waist line 
and under arms, beneath clothing. 

Give color of hair, eyes and complex- 
ion, age and amount of education, pre- 
vious occupation, health, and if married 
or single. 

We will retain one set of prints, and 
return the duplicate set to you with your 
"reading" marked on the Chart. 

You can send us five personal ques- 
tions, numbering them in rotation, con- 
cerning yourself or friends on Tempera- 
ment or Character, and we will answer 
them upon receipt of 50 cents, or, we will 
answer no questions but instead will send 
Chart of your Character and Tempera- 
ment after receiving your photos and 
measurements according to our direc- 
tions, upon receipt of $2.00. In the lat- 
ter order we will enclose one of our new 
books — "Modern Foresight" — free of 
charge. 

Our book gives you all the necessary 
information to diagnose your own charac- 
teristics by the use of mirrors but if your 
own experience in that line does not come 
up to your anticipations, we can further 
assist you as above mentioned. 

105 






CHARACTER INDICATORS OUTSIDE 
OP THE CRANIUM. 

MOUTH— 

The line of Closure is where the lips 
meet when closed naturally. 

A horizontal and wide closure — a 
great talker. 

When the closure turns down at the 
corners the person is — pessimistic. 

When the closure turns up it de- 
notes — wit and mirthfulness. 

Straight, and horizontal closure with 
fair thickness of lips, denotes — a well 
balanced mind and all round intelligence. 

Very thick lips with development in 
the center of each — sensual and passion- 
ate faculties. 

Very thin lips give — hard and sour 
disposition. 

Small mouth on a mature face indi- 
cates — weakness, and child-like charac- 
teristics. 

Rosebud mouth indicates— a poor 
helpmate. 

Large mouth, with lips half open 
most of the time — stupidity and desire 
for flattery. 

Large mouth with thick lips and the 
lower one projecting beyond the upper — 
selfishness and deceitfulness and sensu- 
ality. 

Mouth with upper lip over-hanging 
the lower is inclined to be — unselfish and 
agreeable, but forceful. 

106 



The most beautiful mouth has the 
upper lip bow-shaped, and the lower lip 
straight, or nearly so but if upper lip is 
short indicates — unreasonable and un- 
seasonable temper. 

If long 1 , indicates — a cheerful, happy 
disposition. 

(Take notice, boys and girls too.) 

VOICE— 

One can easily discern by the nature 
of the voice, oftentimes, the nature of the 
person without even having seen them, 
as follows: — 

A high-pitched voice accompanies a 
high-strung nature and indicates — intel- 
lectuality, coldness and nervous tension. 

A low-pitched voice indicates — vital- 
ity, warmth, and feeling. 

A low voice indicates — great physi- 
cal and mental energy minus the refining 
elements. 

A soft voice indicates! — refined, 
governed and controlled energy. 

A weak and thin voice denotes — lack 
of vital force. 

High-pitched, loud, harsh, incisive 
tones, always accompany — cold, coarse, 
uncouth natures. 

Low-pitched, soft, sweet, caressing 
tones, accompany — a refined, lovable and 
sympathetic nature. 

A weak, whining, peevish voice in- 
dicates^ — irritability and excessive vanity. 

Course, loud and heavy tones — boast- 
fulness, aggressiveness, egotism. 

107 



Affected, glib, oily, or slippery voice, 
indicates deceitfulness and unreliability. 

Clean, clear and frank tones denote 
— genuineness, kindness and earnestness. 

THE WALK— 

A quick, short, firm tread in which 
the heels strike the ground first, indicates 
— keen Perceptiveness and Intellectual- 
ity, decision, energy and alertness. 

The long, slow, rhythmical easy, 
graceful stride, indicates — thoughtful- 
ness, health, endurance and careless ease. 

The mincing, affected, uneven, hesi- 
tating or nervous walk, denotes — vanity, 
indecision and weakness. 

The shuffling gait, shows — careless- 
ness, indifference, irresponsibility. 

The smooth, light gliding tread in 
which the toes strike the floor first, indi- 
cates — stealth, deceitfulness and seeret- 
iveness. 

THE CLOTHES— 

Personality and Character of any 
person are distinctly visible and under- 
standable by clothes that have been 
worn a short time. 

Texture of clothes shows — the finan- 
cial status of the individual. 

The style of the clothes, shows — 
good, or poor taste. 

Carelessness in dress, shows — loose- 
ness and carelessness in business deal- 
ings. 

Modest and neat dress, denotes — self 
respect for others. 

108 



Great display on the outside indi- 
cates — deficiency in self-respect, but 
great love of praise from others. 

Extreme styles and loud colors are 
worn by the — coarse and uncouth brag- 
gart. 

Subdued colers and plain styles in- 
dicate in a person — modest, prudent, un- 
assuming disposition. 

HAND SHAKING— 

In the handshake, every one, uncon- 
sciously "gives themselves away" in 
general disposition and character. 

Soft Hands indicate — tender hearts; 
they are yielding in their nature; do not 
like hard physical labor, nor hardships 
of any kind. 

The Extreme of this type has a flab- 
by, limp handshake, which indicates the 
lazy, idle dreamer who lacks the physi- 
cal and mental energy to ever accomplish 
anything worth while. 

Such a person will be very deficient 
in the Faculties :— 39, 41, 34, 22, 9, 10, 11, 
5, 16. 

Elastic Hands are the desirable 
ones : — they have a feeling of life, and re- 
sistance, energy, push, vim and vigor and 
in all walks of life are the "up and do- 
ing'' kind. 

This kind of a hand grasps yours 
with a firm pressure and honest expres- 
sion. Their dominating faculties are : 34, 
22, 9, 6, 3, 10, 25, 24, 13, 21. 

109 



Extremely Hard Hands accompany: 
— hard heads and hearts; they are un- 
sympathetic, cold, brutal drivers in any 
position that you may find them, and in 
the handshake will fairly crush your own 
in its grasp. Such an individual has 
very large Faculties of 41, 34, 25, 9, 10 
and very small ones of 23, 21, 7, 19, 29, 
32. 

A Clinging Handshake indicates: — 
strong love nature, sympathetic and af- 
fectionate. The back of the head is fully 
developed, and the dominating faculties 
are 23, 24, 7, 8, 19, 21, 32, 10, 13, 12, A.

mentality. 

Pinched features denote — avarice, 
parsimoniousness. 

Vacant eyes denote — absentminded- 
ness. 

Bulgy sacks beneath the eyes — talk- 
ativeness and mental energy. 

Square chin and jaw — determina- 
tion. 

Prominent chin, thick and pudgy — 
insipidity. 

Nose with a high bridge — executive 
ability. 

Nose with round thick point — com- 
bativeness. 

Nose hollowed from point to top — 
negative energy. 

Nose straight — mental energy. 

Nose oval from point to point — busi- 
ness energy. 

Nose with point sloping up from face 
— selfish and hopeful. 

TEMPERAMENT. 

Temperament, if well understood, 
adds greatly to one's skill in the delinea- 
tion of heads and faces, as it gives one 
knowledge of the anatomical construction 
of the physical organism called body, 
which mind uses as its instrument of ex- 
pression. 

Ill 



To define "Temperament" under- 
standingly to most of us is somewhat dif- 
ficult, but in our own opinion the follow- 
ing may serve most effectually: "It is 
a particular state of the constitution or 
organism depending upon the relative 
proportions of its masses and the relative 
energy of its functions." 

There are three general classes of 

Temperament: — 

(1) The Motive or mechanical system, in- 
cluding the bones, the ligaments and the 
muscles. 

(2) The Vital or nutritive system, invol- 
ving the lymphatics, the blood vessels. 
and the glands. 

(3) The Mental or nervous system, in- 
cluding the brain and spinal cord. 

Some persons have black eyes, others 
gray, others blue, others brown; some are 
tall, some short, some lean, some fat; 
some quick in movement, some slow and 
deliberate. 

These differences determine the con- 
stitutional condition (Temperament) and 
the special quality of the mind is largely 
due to it. 

Every person has two or more of 
these in different degrees — one having 
the Mental temperament in excess and 
the Vital in a lesser degree, which arrang- 
ed in correct combination would read — 
Mental- Vital Temperament. 

112 



Another would have the Motive in a 
predominant degree and the Mental in 
in the lesser, which would produce a Mo- 
tive-Mental Temperament and so on in 
many different combinations, the temper- 
ament most dominant being the one that 
determines the first condition. 

When the Motive temperament ex- 
ceeds the others in development, the 
body is strong and powerful, athletic in 
build. 

The face is broad in general outline, the 
cheek bones prominent, the chin and jaw 
broad and strong. 

It gives to persons force of charac- 
ter, industry, courage, and executive 
ability; are leaders in active life and are 
often arrogant and domineering. Na- 
tions of war-like inclinations are spec- 
ially characterized by the Motive temper- 
ament. 

The Mental temperament in greater 
development puts the brain and nervous 
system in ' the most activity. The fore- 
head is high, wide at the top and well de- 
veloped; the features are usually taper- 
ing and delicate; the hair is fine and sel- 
dom abundant ; the face is wide above 
and tapering to a pointed chin; the body 
slight and its movements rapid. 

. When the Vital temperament pre- 
dominates in development the nutritive 
or digestive system is most active. The 
body is plump; the face is round and full 
outward from the corners of the mouth-; 

113 



the limbs are comparatively short and 
large; the body is large in the middle, 
tapering at both ends, and the move- 
ments are slow. 

Those of the Vital temperament are 
designed to do sedentary work; they 
naturally incline to financiering, manag- 
ing and superintending the work of 
others; physical exertion is distasteful to 
them. "When the Vital temperament is 
reinforced by a well developed brain and 
muscular system it gives us our commer- 
cial giants. 

SUITABLE COMPARISONS FOR 
BUSINESS PARTNERSHIPS. 

One with Vital-Motive Temperament 
and large faculties of Nos. 23, 33, 6, 17, 
21, 9, 10, and another with Mental- Vital 
combination with faculties 3, 36, 38, 39, 
16, 34, 21, 7, 41, 25, the former adapted 
to being specially agreeable to customers, 
having many friends, honesty of purpose 
and enough secretiveness to use good 
judgement in buying stock and supplies, 
the latter having faculties that are quick 
to discern the natural trend of business, 
enough order to keep everything in sys- 
tematic condition, enough Acquisitive- 
ness to see that the profits are on the 
right side of the ledger, enough force to 
not allow things to lag in interest, 
enough Benevolence and Conscientious- 
ness to be liberal in charitable enter- 
prises, and to be honest in all of his part- i 
nership relations. 

114 



SUITABLE COMPARISONS FOR THE 
MARRIAGE RELATION. 

It is generally considered that op- 
posites in husband and wife will make 
the most congenial companions, and so 
[ far as Temperament is concerned it is 
very true, as two blonde types or two of 
! the brunette type should never try to nor 
1 allow themselves to unite in marriage, 
for to see the same color of eyes and 
shade of hair day after day in such close 
association becomes very tiresome, and 
is apt to give one or both a desire to wan- 
der into more pleasant conditions for a 
short vacation that may terminate into a 
longer one, and then too, children from 
such a union could not be so healthy phy- 
sically, nor so well balanced in intellect. 
The color of each type of such a union 
would be so accentuated, in the children, 
that the brunettes could very easily be 
taken as of negro descent, and the blonde 
type unless of the Motive- Vital tempera- 
mnt would have no warmth of color in 
the face at all, and the hair would be like 
tow — no color at all. 

No two of the same height, nor of 
the same weight, nor of the same combi- 
nation of Temperaments should consider 
matrimony with each other. 

The Mental-Motive- Vital type of 
man and the Vital-Mental type of woman 
would make an excellent combination of 

115 



elements for happiness if the former were 
a brunette and the latter a blonde. 

The first combination would proba- 
bly have the faculty of 3, 5, 16, 39, 40, 34, 
24, 13, 12, 10, 21, for the masculine side 
and Nos. 40, 35, 36, 24, 13, 7, 19, 20, 21, 
23, A 32, 16, 28, 37, most predominant in 
development for the feminine side, or 
Vital-Mental type. 

Comparisons without end could be 
enumerated that would insure perfect 
contentment and happiness in matri- 
mony, or of harmony and profit in busi- 
ness relations. 

Why then, after all of our illustra- 
tions and reasonable proofs of our con- 
tentions that any and everybody can 
easily "see" all that lies beneath the 
cranium of human beings, why should 
not every intelligent person want to gain 
that knowledge for their own protection, 
and for the proper rearing and moulding 
of their children, and the progressive de- 
velopment of themselves? 

LOVE IS OF MANY KINDS 
DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT. 

It is conspicuous in different degrees 
in proportion to modifications by other 
faculties, for example: — Parental Love 
though large in itself and apt to be too 
indulgent in the government of children, 
is greatly modified by the faculty of 
Firmness if it be large, also. 

116 



SEXUAL LOVE (Amativeness)— 
i We mention this first because it is the 
dominating 1 factor that continues the Life 
Principle through all the kingdoms — 
Vegetable, Animal and Human, but as 
only the Human Kingdom comes within 
our province we will confine our talk to 
that alone. 

The function of this faculty is exclu- 
sively to reproduce the species, not ne- 
cessarily having any connection with the 
institution of marriage but is the primary 
cause of physical attraction between the 
sexes at the pubescent age. When this 
faculty is very large and unmodified by 
Conscientiousness, its facial indicators 
are as follows: — Large, thick, protruding 
lips specially heavy in the center; eye- 
balls that seem to bulge outward; eye- 
lids that are narrow — close together as 
though they were hiding the licentious 
thoughts that lurk behind them; a chin 
that is heavy and thick underneath. 

Indicators and abuses by married or 
single men: — Persistent staring at the 
opposite sex to gain attention; profuse 
courtesy toward the object of the fascina- 
tion; excessive indulgence of amuse- 
ments, sweetmeats, or anything to please 
the unwary and unprotected; undue lib- 
erties upon short acquaintance; hasty en- 
gagements in matrimony to legalize sen- 
sualism; promise of marriage to accom- 
plish illicit acts with the too credulous. 

117 






Responsive Indicators by the gentler 
sex: — At first innocent glances and won- 
derment at such unexpected attentions; 
then mixtures of desire and fear for con- 
tinued admiration; then perhaps permit- 
ting seemingly innocent but really im- 
proper liberties; then either an awaken- 
ing to the gross motives and sudden end- 
ing of the flirtation, or continued liber- 
ties and secret meetings ending in re- 
grets, disgrace and scandal. 

MOTHERS! MOTHERS!! MOTHERS!!! 

Wake up ! ! 

Don't Be Asleep!) 

Don't be totally blind to all the vile 
intrigues that lurk in the heart of this 
type of a man. 

"See for yourself." Get the infor- 
mation that "Foresight" puts into your 
storage battery of knowledge, showing 
you how to remould the mind faculties 
that are too deficient and others that are 
too dominant, both of which are the result 
of unf amiliarity with the pre-natal laws 
of Nature. 

"Foresight" tells you that a person 
with very large Amativeness and small 
Conscientiousness is an undesirable com- 
bination, because such a man would stoop 
to the very lowest depths of immorality. 

Would you be wiling to have your 
daughters from 17 to 22 years, just bud- 
ding into womanhood — the sweetest and 

118 



most beautiful flowers of all Nature-- 
| accept the attentions of such a man ? They 
are found in the very best social gather- 
ings, and have the most exquisitely fur- 
nished autos that money will buy — ele- 
gant places for pleasure — and how many 
young girls who are unfamiliar with the 
teachings of "Modern Foresight' ' are 
there that would ignore the wiles of such 
temptations in society? To learn these 
pitfalls by experience — ' ' hindsight ' ' — is 
just what keeps the ball of immorality 
rolling along — crushing out the innocence 
and virtue of thousands of the daughters 
of our land. 

But bear in mind that these kind of 
men are not wholly to blame for their vi- 
cious thoughts, when mothers deliberate- 
ly flaunt before their eyes their daugh- 
ters decorated in the most abbreviated 
and transparent wearing apparel that the 
demi-monde fashions will suggest. 

Who, then, is to blame, the mothers 
or the men? 

To what all this world is coming 
Is a problem most hard to solve, 

Frightened at its wickedness and sin, 
That around our heads revolve. 

The man is always to blame, however, 
for the downfall of innocent maidenhood, 
as the girl never takes the initiative in 
such conduct, and there is no argument 
to the contrary. 

119 



Modesty, virtue and honesty hold her 
back to the last point of resistance ar 
gainst immorality; and if there is an oc- 
casional exception to this rule, even then 
it is the utter baseness of the man that is 
at fault, for his magnetic nature hypno- 
tizes the object of his thoughts, depriving 
her of the power of resistance to the evil 
that is waiting to engulf her. 

The type of man who would have an 
impure thought against virtue is 
dominated exclusively by Amativeness, 
and never deserves one iota of decent 
consideration in social life, but he is the 
identical one who fascinates wherever he 
goes among the "uneducated" in human 
nature. 

Conjugal love never has one disre- 
spectful thought in connection with the 
sweet innocence of girlhood or woman- 
hood, is more reserved in social ambi- 
tions, never flirts, never tells lies if it can 
be avoided. Amative love never tells the 
truth if it can be avoided when the sub- 
ject is of a social nature., or at, least, 
truth is such a stranger to that faculty of 
the mind that a friend never knows if as- 
sertions productive of it are true or false. 
Amative love will go back on its best 
friend; Conjugal love is constant and de- 
voted. 

Herein is the vast difference between 
the two faculties, Conjugality and Ama- 
tiveness, and nothing is more essential to 

120 



thoroughly understand for the sake of 
self -protection in home and social life. 

In business the person with large 
Amativeness has so much more magne- 
tism, persuasiveness and other assimilat- 
ing faculties than does a person with the 
faculty of Conjugality dominating that 
he often meets with greater success in 
most any business, and especially where 
big enterprises are the object of his am- 
bition. A Conjugal personality is more 
conservative in associations, therefore 
does not attract speculative thinkers who 
are on the lookout for men of ability to 
carry to a successful issue their intrigues. 

The Conjugal man, therefore, is 
more adapted to the ordinary things of 
life; a home with the sweet companion- 
ship of wife, daughters and sons is his 
greatest ambition, and he leaves no stone 
unturned to accomplish the highest pin- 
nacle of that beautiful world of sacred af- 
fection. He will engage in some business 
that will provide for such a home, and if 
he has large Acquisitiveness, Construc- 
tiveness, Casualty, Suavity, Continuity, 
Firmness, in addition to his Conjugal and 
moral qualities, he will accomplish great 
things in business life in an honorable 
way. 

The surface indicators of these two 
faculties are as follows: Amativeness — 
Large neck and base of the back-head, be- 
low the opening of the ear; thick lips, 

121 



much more developed in their center than 
outwards from their center; mouth line 
of closure irregular, as in Figs. 22 and 
17. 

Conjugality — Neck normal in size, 
up to 16 inches or less, proportionately to 
the balance of the figure; base of back- 
head not bulging but the head at num- 
bers 24, 18, 23, 12 is well developed and 
rounds out the entire contour of the back- 
head, from the opening of the ear up- 
wards, as in Figs. 2 and 16. 

CONJUGAL LOVE (Conjugality)— 
The function of this faculty is for mat- 
ing, and union in wedlock for life in the 
highest and purest relationship known to 
mankind. Amativeness does not enter 
into this association as it is of a different 
nature, on a much lower scale, and of 
much lower rate of vibration. Many 
birds and animals select their sexual 
mate for life, as the lion and the eagle 
and their affection is just as strong be- 
tween the procreating seasons as it is at 
that time, proving that the faculty of 
Conjugality is the real bond of union. 

And as another proof that the facul- 
ty of Conjugality is in great contrast to 
that of Amativeness, the former comes 
into the thoughts at the age of 5 years 
and mates are often chosen at that age 
which continues in perfect harmony so 
long as life lasts, while it is impossible 

122 



for Amativeness to function before the 
age of puberty — 12 or 14 years. 

The facial indicators of Conjugality 
are : — Lips that have an even contour and 
of medium thickness; eyes that are open 
and round and honest; chin that has 
graceful curves and is medium in width, 
and prominent. 

Behavior indicators — Modesty in at- 
tracting attention ; formal introduction 
preferable to promiscuous flirtations ; 
refined and genteel manners ; careful con- 
sideration of one 's happiness and welfare : 
cleanliness in personal appearance; free 
from all selfishness; (Spirituality and 
Conscientiousness are close companions of 
Conjugality) ; modest in desire to please ; 
conservative in praise and flattery, but 
true as steel and pure at heart. 

"LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT' '— with the 
uneducated in Cranioscopy, is an im- 
possibility, without uncontrolled ac- 
tivity of the faculty of Amativeness 
alone being the primary cause, or, in 
other words, it is the selfish amatory 
propensity in both that is asserting 
itself and will soon end in repug- 
nance after a union in wedlock, and 
sometimes before, if they allow crim- 
inal indiscretion in their seeming in- 
fatuation. 

"LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT"— with the 
educated in Cranioscopy, is a perma- 
nent possibility because of the accur- 
ate knowledge each one possesses 

123 



concerning the characteristics of the 
other one, and such an alliance in 
matrimony would be of the most 
sacred, inspiring, harmonious condi- 
tion for happiness that could be con- 
ceived of. 

HOME LOVE (Inhabitiveness)— One 

never forgets the old ties of home, sweet 
home, the dear mother and father and 
brothers and sisters, and the puppies and 
the kittens and all the young friends and 
all the nooks and the crannies, the trees 
and the flowers and all the out-of-doors — 
it all remains vivid in one 's memory. 

There is scarcely a being on earth 
that does not manifest continually strong 
attachment for home. Birds have their 
summer and winter homes, migrating 
back and forth to the exact locality, nev- 
er changing the place for their nests and 
the rearing of their young. The cat is a 
great lover of home, remaining in one 
place regardless of how many tenants 
have occupied the house, if they are left 
to their own inclinations, while the dog 
prefers the family to the home, and sees 
to it that he is never left behind when the 
family departs, Patriotism, love of one's 
country, comes from Inhabitiveness, and 
it has been the direct cause of many 
bloody wars in defense of the land in 
which they were born. 

PATERNAL LOVEr— is the male idea 
of affection for his offspring; while it may 
be equally as strong and solicitous for the 

124 



health and best welfare of their future, 
it is more stern, severe, unapproachable 
and uncompromising in their government 
than the female idea is, but no doubt pro- 
duces a better condition for battling with 
the outside world in general. 

MATERNAL LOVE— is the mother 
idea of parental affection for her child- 
ren; it is the kind of love that brings 
tears to the eyes and fills the heart to 
overflowing as we think of her sweetest 
kindness and sympathy for all of our 
troubles, sacrificing everything for our 
comfort and happiness — in the long, long 
ago. Nothing can be truer nor more 
steadfast nor more angelic, than a 
mother's love — the love that we never 
forget. 

There are women, however, who are 
so devoid of Maternal Love and Spiritu- 
ality as to permit the destruction of their 
own child in cold blood, before they are 
born. What becomes of the two souls — 
the mother and the child — in the next 
life, is far beyond the threshold of our 
understanding. The memories of such a 
child in relation to its mother, must be 
too horrible to contemplate, and we often 
wonder if such a mother recognizes the 
magnitude of her sin? 

We wonder, too, if this little mite of 
innocent, unborn childhood will ever meet 
its parents in the great beyond — its two 
parents who are the direct cause of its 
creation and who have committed the 
greatest crime in God's domaiil — can they 

125 



ever in all eternity, work themselves out 
of the fathomless abyss of Purgatory into 
which their spirit selves may be precipi- 
tated? 

Think of this, all who contemplate 
the destruction of unborn life during 
their early existence. 

FILIAL LOVE— is the affection of 
children for their parents, and varies ac- 
cording to the development of Friend- 
ship, Gratitude, Combativeness, Conscien- 
tiousness, Benevolence and Inhabitive- 
ness. 

Friendship, Gratitude and Inhabi- 
tiveness fill out and enlarge the upper 
and middle back-head. 

Conscientiousness and Benevolence 
make the top-head round and full. 

But remember that the degree of de- 
velopment of these faculties depends very 
largely upon the physical demonstration 
of love feelings by the parents towards 
the child. If the parents display no more 
affection and tender, sympathetic love for 
their offspring than those do outside of 
the immediate home environment, then 
the child sees no difference between par- 
ents and ordinary friends, in that respect, 
but they do see that the home experi- 
ences are more severe, their personal plea- 
sures more limited, their liberties more 
restricted than they are at the homes of 
friends, which fact can not help being de- 
trimental to the development of these par- 
ticular mind faculties that stand for child 

126 



love, therefore when children are disobed- 
ient, disrespectful, deceitful, rude, imper- 
tinent, ungrateful, unloving and unlov- 
able, it is far more the fault of the par- 
ents themselves, than it is the fault of the 
children. 

Out of all the families within our 
scope of acquaintance nine tenths of the 
young and older children are absolutely 
starving for the want of Daddy's and 
Mammy's sweet caresses, but never real- 
ize nor understand that there exists such 
pure and sacred devotion until they have 
children of their own. 

This neglect of the parents together 
with the sympathetic attentions that 
children find away from home, has a ten- 
dency to cause too early marriages and a 
desire to drift into pleasanter associa- 
tions to the injury of the entire family 
attachments. Is this the purpose of our 
Supreme Father in the creation of His 
finite subjects of human life? 

FRIENDSHIP LOVE— can be equal- 
ly so intense as any other kind but it 
eliminates sex from all of its activities. 
A person with the faculty of Friendship 
very large makes friends everywhere and 
has no enemies except those who are jeal- 
ous and revengful because of the other's 
popularity. True friendship, however, is 
the rarest of qualities and so seldom is it 
fully brought to the light of day that it is 
equally so seldom recognized and appre- 
ciated, though when such love is finally 

127 



discovered and proven to the entire satis- 
faction of those interested, the slightest 
reflection against one of the friends 
would not be tolerated for an instant. 
True friendship is ever ready to recog- 
nize the needs of one in helpless and dis- 
tressing circumstances and will share its 
last cent to relieve such conditions. 

The value of such affection can not 
be estimated for it is beyond words to ex- 
press it. 

GRATITUDE OR COMPENSATING 
LOVE — is very rarely expressed and the 
the faculty in most people is woefully de- 
ficient. The first cause of this deficiency 
begins soon after birth when the parent 
neglects to teach the child to be thankful 
at heart for all the simple things that are 
daily done in its behalf. Under such 
neglect the child soon thinks that all spec- 
ial favors come to him as a natural con- 
sequence thereby forcing upon the unde- 
veloped mind entire ignorance of any 
such feeling as thankfulness to others, 
and as they become older and more favors 
are lavished upon them, if they are still 
untaught that all such gifts are sacrifices 
that the giver has made and denied self 
the pleasure of, the faculty of Gratitude 
never becomes even normal, but instead is 
very deficient in development and in later 
years knows nothing of kindness— ronly 
the most selfish kind of selfishness, put- 
ting a blot upon the human race and re- 
tarding its growth to a highei* and better 
plane of existence. 

128 



RELIGIOUS LOVE, VENERATION, 
PIETY (PERMANENT AND SPAS- 
MODIC)— This faculty of the mind, like 
all the others, more often than not is im- 
proved upon and developed according to 
the influence and environment in the 
home and in the degree — very large, 
large or small — according to the persis- 
tency of the parents and their mode of 
education. 

Permanent Piety is the only kind 
that is of any value whatsoever. It is in- 
dicated by a decided bump at No. 8 on top 
of the head, and makes a soft, soothing, 
amiable and beautifully sweet expression 
all over the countenance, at all times, in 
all places and under all conditions. It 
is the expression of perfection within the 
soul, within the thoughts, within the self 
so far as the finite degree of life is com- 
prehended. It has reverence for all 
things, in nature; it blends in harmony 
with all humanity as a part and parcel of 
itself, recognizing no particular place or 
form of worship, but worshiping Truth 
for the sake of right and advancement 
i of the human race. 

It prays not for self nor personal 
favors; it thinks not of self but of all 
mankind as the manifestation of Infinite 
Power and Intelligence. 

Spasmodic Piety is the result of some 
personal desire of bettering one's chances 
for redemption after knowingly commit- 
ting wrong against another of our bro- 
thers and sisters, the great human family. 

129 



Spasmodic Piety is only in evidence, 
when beneath the roof of some great edi- 
fice erected by man, or, within the small 
room for peaceful slumber, and it mani- 
fests through the faculties of Secretive- 
ness, Acquisitiveness, Amativeness, Com- 
bativeness, Approbativeness in large de- 
gree, and Veneration, Conscientiousness, 
Gratitude, Benevolence in very small de- 
gree. 

When a person never has any desire 
to make others happy and never has one 
single regret at causing them unhappi- 
ness, and never feels grateful for kind- 
nesses extended to them and never ex- 
tends kindness in return, can never be 
trusted for the truth and such a selfish 
character has not one iota of Veneration 
nor Piety in the heart; it is utterly de- 
void of all that sweetness of character so 
wonderful to look upon and to retain in 
the memory as pleasant events. 

One of that selfish nature has only 
well-earned fear and superstition (not 
even spasmodic piety) that causes them 
to ever enter a house of worship in search 
of redemption, for what might be judged 
against them, 

LOVE OF STUDY AND SEEKING 
AFTER TRUTH— constitutes the highest 
order of intelligence. The faculties of 
Causality, Comparison and Spirituality 
dominate the mind giving the desire to 
investigate, and the faculty of Combative- 
ncss overcomes all obstacles and gives 

130 



the necessary force to prosecute thorough 
investigation and delving into the remote 
realms on the higher plane. 

This love is not of the social organs 
of the mind but is so different that no 
comparison can be made, but study and 
investigation should include everything 
in nature, that one may become more en- 
lightened upon the Laws that control and 
govern all visible and invisible life. 

"A CHIP ON THE SHOULDER." 

What an enormous amount of mean- 
ing we find in these five words — an ex- 
pression as old as the hills, and as famil- 
iar from the youngest who can barely 
comprehend it to the oldest who can bare- 
ly talk on account of age, and yet how 
many have tried to subdue that feeling of 
resentment in themselves? Have you, 
who are reading this chapter? Recall all 
of your relatives, friends and occasional 
friends — how many of them who do not 
perambulate around with "a chip on the 
shoulder' ' ready instantly to resent any 
act, look or word that is disparaging to 
themselves, whether it be intentional or 
unintentional ? 

How many families in all of your ac- 
quaintance can you mention that are am- 
iable to each other, peaceful, loving and 
lovable, contented and blissfully happy? 

When families are not that way how 
can we expect a better condition of things 

131 



outside of the family, since all outsiders 
are a certain portion of some family? 

In every home where there are child- 
ren of all ages and dispositions some are 
naturally unbearable — take delight in 
hurting a sister's or brother's feelings 
without any provocation whatever, or at 
least any reasonable reason for it — do it 
simply because they enjoy seeing the 
tears roll down out of an injured soul, of 
whom they are more than likely jealous, 
and of some petty thing they ought to be 
ashamed of. 

One sister will impose upon another, 
if the latter be a younger one, because 
the elder thinks she knows more on ac- 
count of a few months' difference in ages, 
or an elder brother will elect himself 
"boss" of a younger one when his par- 
ents are not present, and all these trivial 
acts and inconsistencies in children to- 
wards one another are in a great measure 
the fault of the parents because of their 
laxity or deficient faculties of Firmness, 
Aggressiveness, Combativeness and Secre- 
tiveness and too large faculties of Paren- 
tal Love and Benevolence. 

This leniency with children develops 
in them Secretiveness andDestructiveness 
to excess, making them impudent not a- 
lone to one another but to the very father 
or mother who are too indulgent with 
them. The result is that if there happens 
to be one child who has inherited a pre- 
dominance of good qualities, feeling kind- 

132 



ly toward all — cannot endure deceitful- 
ness and impiety in principle — such an 
one will be imposed upon by all the rest 
and will leave home at an early age to be 
freed from the unbearable conditions, 
hoping against hope, to find harmony 
somewhere in the outside world, and even 
that is a disappointment for the outside 
world is also made up of other families 
similar to one's own and with no more 
inclination to be decent with one another. 

In large families or small ones too, 
it is a rare exception to find perfect har- 
mony, but when we do find it what a 
beautiful sensation — a soft, peaceful, 
angelic atmosphere pervades the whole 
household and surrounds you the moment 
you enter such a home, but when you vis- 
it the other kind of a domicile the moment 
you enter it the stifling atmosphere of dis- 
cord slaps you in the face with all of its 
thousand and one troubles that have been 
allowed to accumulate through too much 
laxity and perversion of judgment in the 
government of their children ever since 
they came into the world. 

They have allowed each and every 
one who w&s born with a "chip on the 
shoulder' ' to continue so and enlarge 
upon the faculty of Destructiveness and 
Combativeness and Secretiveness until 
they are disrespectful to everyone with 
whom they come in contact, and who are 
ever ready to slap a brother or sister in 
the face with brute force, or, with a vie- 

133 



ious tongue which hurts worse than the 
physical force does. 

When we take into consideration the 
selfishness and ingratitude that parents 
allow to dominate their own offspring in 
relation to one another and to themselves, 
is it any wonder that when the family 
grows up and seeks outside companion- 
ship that such children never manifest 
any graciousness nor benevolence nor 
altruistic principles towards others? 

It does seem that almost the entire 
human family are now, in this day, tra- 
versing this earth with "a chip on the 
shoulder" without a kind thought for 
anyone. 

All this can be avoided and 
prevented if parents are so persistent 
in using as much judgement in the crea- 
tion of their own children as the animal 
raiser is in procuring good stock to pre- 
vent deterioration and disease in the 
herd. 

PARENTS' RESPONSIBILITY IN DE- 
VELOPING MIND FACULTIES. 

The purpose of this little book is to 
ingratiate into the minds of its readers, 
the speediest solution for progression in 
spiritual, social, educational and indus- 
trial life. 

In our opinion, after we have suffi- 
ciently enlightened the present generation 
upon the advantages to be gained from 
an accurate understanding of the "know 

134 



how" to read heads and faces "on sight' ' 
the rest belongs to the parents of the 
newly-born and the unborn generations 
to come. 

Of course the parents must first have 
the location of each one of the forty-three 
faculties accurately established in their 
own mind, also the correct function of 
each, before they can cultivate some facul- 
ties that are too deficient, and reduce un- 
desirable ones that are too much devel- 
oped at the beginning. 

The time to do this re-moulding of 
faculties in children is at that stage of 
their first recognition of the meaning of 
expression on the face and of sweet baby 
talk from the mother, in order to produce 
speediest results, and there can be no 
"breathing spells" or vacations until the 
work is accomplished, else it would be 
useless, utterly useless, to begin it at all. 

If a child would soon demonstrate 
selfishness and a disposition to be piggish 
with playthings and good things to eat, 
it would indicate large Destructiveness, 
Combativeness, Acquisitiveness, and very 
small Benevolence, Conscientiousness, 
Spirituality and Friendship, and to re- 
build these faculties desirable to the 
parents, one would have to relate to the 
child stories of a kind that would leave 
thoughts upon the little mind, just before 
the lullaby to sleep, that would produce 
activity upon the faculties you wish to de- 
velop, and reduce the flow of blood to the 
undesirable organs, thereby giving growth 

135 



in the one, and a corresponding depletion 
in the other direction. 

The blood always rushes in excessive 
quantities to the parts most in action, 
and when selfishness is the most active 
the faculty of Benevolence has hardly 
enough blood within its limits to sustain 
the life of it, and the diligent application 
of our method by the parents is the only 
way to divert the flow of blood into the 
deficient part of the mind, for rebuilding 
and nourishment. 

Every child in school ought to be 
learning the lessons of how to "see for 
themselves ' ' dishonesty in others, for self- 
protection all through life. No other 
study is so necessary for the defense of a 
child's best interests as they grow into 
maturity to battle with the rest of the 
world. And every parent ought to de- 
mand that such study should be taught in 
public schools. If taught properly, they 
would be exceedingly interested in the 
work, and no one can deny the inestim- 
able value of it. 

PRE-NATAL INFLUENCE. 

Let us now go back to the very be- 
ginning — to the pre-natal condition where 
all improvement in the human race should 
first commence, and try to use at least as 
much good judgment in the new creations 
of our own flesh and blood, as the stock- 
raiser does with his pigs, calves and colts. 

"We are quoting from an article upon 
this subject that came to our notice with- 

136 



in the last year, in order to effectually im- 
press upon the minds of young people, 
how such wonderful things in nature can 
be accomplished with a certainty of satis- 
factory results. 

"A young couple had entered upon 
the marriage relation, who were both 
singularly plain looking, and came from 
very plain even coarse-looking families. 
The woman in particular was of coarse 
type, very high cheek bones, sunken eyes 
and angular form. Her husband was of 
small stature, receding forehead, muddy 
complexion and hair of indescribable 
color. 

But in spite of all these perverse con- 
ditions, they mutually determined to ex- 
periment with nature, conscientiously 
and religiously hoping for marked im- 
provement above themselves. 

They had married, not from passion, 
not from ambition, but from a deep respect 
for the real worth of the other. They 
realized the sacredness of fatherhood and 
motherhood, and so regulated their lives, 
that if children were born they should so 
nearly as possible come up to the stan- 
dard of their ideals. 

The mother, on finding herself in a 
gestatory condition, began to think of the 
foetus as a girl, and to dream of it as a 
girl; and two pictures of her ideal of 
sweet young girlhood were always where 
her eyes could fall upon them when she 
was resting. At her work she had books 
of poems near, when she could read a 

137 



little at a time and catch a beautiful 
thought. 

She would refuse to witness exciting 
scenes or listen to that which was un- 
pleasant about her neighbors. 

All newspapers which contained re- 
ports of the sins and crimes of the people 
she ignored and placed in the hands of 
her husband, to read her only the pleas- 
ant and progressive thoughts. All new 
achievements in art and literature were 
related with delight. The husband was 
intensely devoted to every wish that she 
desired, and all was love and happiness 
every hour of their lives, as they waited 
in sweet expectation of the eventful day. 

This couple were poor, but they wish- 
ed to know for a certainty if good ante- 
natal conditions could bring about desired 
results. The mother did not wear out her 
nerves fretting over the uncertainties of 
travail, nor work upon an extravagant 
wardrobe for the little one, that they 
could not afford. Thus the months sped 
away until the beautiful crown of mother- 
hood rested upon that homely woman. 
And such a crown!! The child was so 
perfect in form and features as their 
minds could conceive of, and when the 
sunshine of intelligence began to beam 
from those eyes, blue as the heavens, and 
the mouth began to question, it was as 
though a superior spirit guided it. 

In the years following, as she grew 
into a young lady, her sweetness of dis- 
position, beauty of person and high intel- 

138 



lectual attainments made her many- 
friends, and she married one of the finest 
men known in society , but their wedded 
life was on a very different plane from 
that of her own parents. 

She now lived in the fashionable 
world, with very little or no thought of 
the little souls that would be ushered in- 
to life, absolutely indifferent to and ig- 
norant of the beautiful influence under 
which she herself was created — ignoring 
even the simplest rules of health in her 
coming motherhood. 

And what was the result but the 
most depressing and heart rending con- 
sequences that could be thought of ! ! ! 

The first child — a girl — inherited the 
coarse features of five generations back — 
not an element of the mother 's delicate 
beauty, and disposition. Deep set, black, 
beady eyes, coarse, straight black hair 
and angular form were strongly appar- 
ent/* 

What can one think when experi- 
ences of this nature have actually taken 
place? Isn't the study of human souls 
and human heads and human faces worth 
considering at all, not even so much as 
the rearing of the brutes in the field? 

Are we never, as the children of one 
great Supreme Intelligence, going to ele- 
vate ourselves to higher thoughts, worthy 
of Him who created us ? 

When we consider what the real ob- 
ject of life must be, we wonder if all have 
some mission to perform, and if what we

do and what we neglect to do, are one 
and the same thing in the vast scheme of 
existence ? 

MAN'S NEGLIGENCE CONCERNING 
HIMSELF. 

Mankind throughout the ages, in 
spite of setbacks through world catastro- 
phies, and his criminal ignorance and 
neglect of his own best interests has pro- 
gressed, showing nature's constant effort 
through evolution to improve the species, 
and it is staggering to contemplate what 
man might be to-day, if he had studied 
and developed himself as he has all re- 
sources^ of nature, aiding with all his 
energy in the improvement of the grains 
and the fruits and even the beasts of the 
field, 

Is man so egotistic as to consider 
himself above progression, or, does it 
prove that he is only in his infancy and 
can not comprehend the real purpose of 
his creation? 

If all, in reading this work, are hence- 
forth inclined 
To discard old ideas and better ones to 

find; 
If new ways for progression will occu- 
py the mind 
For the good of one's self and the rest 
of mankind, 
Our mission will succeed; we have 

written not in vain 
For progress of human life upon a 
broader plane.
